Notre Dame has denied that Marcus Freeman made physical contact with anyone after the football coach was accused of battery in a police report filed Jan. 3 following an incident at his son's high school wrestling match.
No charges are expected against Freeman, university sources told ESPN on Sunday.
According to the South Bend Tribune, which first reported the news, the alleged incident involved Freeman and New Prairie High School assistant wrestling coach Chris Fleeger. Freeman and his family were at the Al Smith Wrestling Invitational to support his son, Vinny, a senior who is heading to Cornell.
Fleeger filed a police report this past week accusing Freeman of battery.
