Teel Time: Notre Dame considering full conference membership, says former Irish AD, ACC commissioner Corrigan
"Gene Corrigan ran Notre Dame athletics from 1981-87. He ran the ACC from 1987-97. No one pines for an Irish-ACC marriage more than he.
*****
"But even in retirement Corrigan is connected. He wouldn’t reveal details of his conversations but said he speaks with Swofford and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick.
Moreover, Corrigan’s son Kevin coaches the Irish’s lacrosse team. Another son, Boo, was an associate athletic director at Notre Dame and is the AD at Army.
So if anyone knows the Irish way, the influence of the school’s governing body and its most well-heeled donors, it’s Corrigan."
