Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick on why he didn’t stay on the west coast:

I’m really all Bay Area at this point. I’m loving it out there. In the course of this dinner, Tom tells me that he’s moving back to Detroit. I said, ‘That’s crazy, why are you doing that?’ He said: ‘If you can live anywhere in the world, you ought to live here, because it’s fantastic. It has all this natural beauty, and the weather is great. As a consequence, so many people who live here don’t have a reason to be somewhere else. They’re attracted by those things as opposed to something else.’ He said, ‘I need to be someplace where there’s a sense of community because that’s what motivates me.’
