Rapid Fire starts with a discussion on Thursday's announcement that Jack Swarbrick will step down as Notre Dame athletic director and NBC Sports chairman and Notre Dame alum Pete Bevaqua will eventually take over. Other topics include:

* Fill-in the blank....It’s BLANK that ESPN.com did a ranking of the top 25 schools with the top incoming transfers and freshman combined and Notre Dame is not on the list.

* Which sport would you rather see Notre Dame play a home and home series vs Purdue: men’s basketball or football?

* Everyone got excited a few weeks ago with the announcement that EA Sports would pay players to use their name, image and likenesses in next year’s return of their college football video game. Now news has come out that the College Football Players Association is urging eligible players to boycott the use of their likeness in the game due to the reported payment of $500 per player. What do you make of this situation?

* Baseball’s new pitch clock rules have been pretty well received...but there has been push back as well. Some fans are calling for lower ticket prices because of the shorter game times. Do you Buy or Sell that?

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that according to the New York Post umpires refer to New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone as "Karen" in their circles.
