“This is a dream come true,” Bevacqua said in a press release. “With the exception of my family, nothing means more to me than Notre Dame. I don’t have a memory in my lifetime, quite literally, where Notre Dame wasn’t a part of it.”
Bevacqua has held his role at NBC Sports since September 2020. He graduated from ND in 1993. In the release, the Irish called Bevacqua “a highly-regarded leader and innovator in the world of sports.
Bevacqua will join the university on July 1, serving as Special Assistant to the President for Athletics.
“It has been my privilege to work alongside Jack Swarbrick as he led Notre Dame to unprecedented success over the past 15 years while providing such an influential voice in college athletics, and I’m excited that we have such a talented and experienced leader in Pete Bevacqua to spend some time learning under Jack before assuming new leadership in one of America’s most storied athletic programs,” ND president Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C. said.
