Figure the AD needs his own thread. About to give II interview with him a listen that can be found here: Podcast: The Pete Bevacqua Interview
this is the wayPeter Peacock
All time greatest quote on first take, "All of that Pistol Pete stuff? Water Pistol Pete Jr."Anyone named Pete is automatically Pistol Pete until proven otherwise.
P-DomeyPete Diddy?
Right. Im refraining judgement until he actually says something.This thread is as boring as his II interview. Super nice guy but as milquetoast as they come

Irish AD: Independence 'more valuable than ever'
Notre Dame atheltic director Pete Bevacqua told ESPN on Thursday that his school's independent status in football is "more valuable than ever."www.espn.com
There's an understanding that Notre Dame football -- maybe more than anywhere else in the country, certainly as much as anywhere else in the country -- is part of the DNA of this university.
Holy shit this is one awesome post. I was already pumped for where the program seems to be headed but this is just icing on the cake. I hope all of the above is true and they execute on these.Since this isn't coming from 247 staff directly, I thought it would be okay to share. I have DMd and asked if I could share. Pretty interesting stuff.

I had the opportunity through one of my classes to partake in a Q&A session with Pete and thought I’d share some key takeaways below. I will say, we also had the chance to hear from Jack, and while he was very impressive and has done some great things for us, I think the program is going to be in really, really great shape with Pete going forward with his background, connections, and love for ND.

- He emphasized the importance of NIL and that we are, and will continue to be aggressive.
- The new facilities will be great from a nutritional and sports science perspective. We will continue to invest from a psychological perspective as well and be a place that can support mental health too.
- ND must win a national championship soon, and it needs to happen with MF as head coach.
- ND is set to make nearly 13 mill each year from the CFP even if we aren’t in it, but an additional 6 mill each year if we make the playoffs….which puts us on par with big 10 and sec for the most part.
- He would like to have shamrock games in Boston and Dallas again, but hinted that Italy would be cool vs BC one day.
- Pete thinks it’s very important to bring back the Michigan game.
- Believes that down the line, conference alignment will eventually get to the point where the 30 or 40 most relevant football programs are in their own league.
- Thinks keeping MF if (and when) OSU comes calling will be doable, just have to make sure he has everything he needs to win here that he would there. Not easy uprooting a family with 6 kids. Talks about how Marcus says knowing what he knows now, he’d have picked ND back in the day.
- Pete thinks we should have beer in the stadium since 91% of schools now do. Said that maybe it will begin by having a beer garden outside the stadium or by selling it in the stadium for a CFP game just to show the school it’s not going to cause issues.
