UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

This pretentious, self-absorbed jackass just can't help himself. He craves the attention.

Here he opens himself up to Yahoo's Ross Dellenger (a very good college football writer, IMO) to give a behind the scenes peak into how the 12 team system came to be. I can only imagine the reaction from the others when Jack raised his hand and proposed that Notre Dame should be penalized for being independent.

Silly me - I thought our AD should work on our behalf.

There's a reason they all looked at you like you were crazy, Jack.

"One team never has the opportunity to get a bye: Notre Dame.

Perhaps no one on the working group compromised as much as Swarbrick. As an independent, the Irish will not have the opportunity to ever land a first-round bye. It’s a tradeoff, he says, for not having to play a league championship game.

“I said to the room, ‘Let’s have the byes just go to conference champions, and they all looked at me like I was crazy,’” he recalls.

“I thought, ‘I’m going to get the s*** beat out of me back home,” Swarbrick said.

Well, did you?

“Oh yeah.”
