Marcus Freeman to have an extensive interview with Joel Klatt on Monday
There aren't many coaches nationally that have the flare that Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman does, and on Monday he'll be joining Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt for an exclusive interview.
The Irish head coach is always a great listen as he generally tells it like it is, and goes in-depth on his thoughts on Notre Dame and college football as a whole. You have to expect that Freeman will be asked about the changes to the game, which include significantly different rules for Name, Image and Likeness, and player revenue along with the expansion and seeding changes for the College Football Playoff.
Notre Dame was a team this past fall the benefitted from the field moving from 4-teams to 12, as under the old format, the Irish would have been on the outside looking in as the No. 5 ranked team. As for the NIL aspect, it seems like the new ruling will even out the playing field, but the players getting revenue will be significantly different. The football team is expected to get a lions share of it, so that has to be a positive for Freeman.
The pairs conversation will go live on Monday at 10:00 a.m. ET, as we will all be interested in hearing what Freeman has to tell Klatt.

Josef Newgarden flips but OK after wild INDYCAR wreck
MADISON, Ill. — Josef Newgarden was not seriously injured after his car went upside-down and skidded along the surface Sunday night at World Wide Technology Raceway. Newgarden t-boned Louis Foster, whose car was spinning and sliding down the track after an accident. Pinched up next to the inside wall, Newgarden's car launched in the air and then skidded on its car. Both drivers were seen and released from the infield medical center. Hard accidents are not rare for the 1.25-mile oval, commonly known as Gateway, located outside of St. Louis. Foster said he had been getting up in the marbles — pellets of tire rubber that accumulate on the track and can cause the car to lose traction — and just got in there one time too many. "Just got a bit too high on to the dark stuff. I had a wiggle and then I just got into the marbles and was a complete passenger," Foster said. "At that point [I hit the wall], I bent my toe link. I just couldn't stop the car from spinning there. Obviously, a pretty scary impact for myself and Josef. "I'm glad he's OK." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.

Michigan football to host 5-star WR Calvin Russell for key Victors Weekend recruiting push
Michigan football to host 5-star WR Calvin Russell for key Victors Weekend recruiting push Michigan football is wrapping up its third and penultimate big official visit recruiting weekend, and while there are some heavy hitters on campus this weekend, there are due to be even more the next. This weekend was headlined by 2026 Mineral (Va.) Louisa County five-star running back Savion Hiter, who the Wolverines have long appeared to have the lead for -- but are fending off Tennessee, Ohio State, and Georgia -- but there were other big names on campus, like athlete Salesi Moa, too. But this upcoming Friday-Sunday is 'Victors Weekend,' the final push for some of the top overall targets for the maize and blue. And one elusive prospect, who may be just behind Hiter on the wish list, appears set to make it to Ann Arbor. A top wide receiver set to visit The Wolverines have one receiver committed in the 2026 class in Dallas (Tx.) Parish Episcopal three-star Jaylen Pile. This weekend, Michigan hosted four-star Travis Johnson and had four-star Zion Robinson visit in May. But perhaps the big fish is none other than Miami (Fla.) Northwestern five-star Calvin Russell. And according to The Michigan Insider's Brice Marich, Russell is set to visit Ann Arbor this week. Russell has been setting his visits week by week, so for Michigan to get a visit at this juncture is big news for the Wolverines. Scouting report The scouting report from 247Sports' Andrew Ivins: Hulking wide receiver with above-the-rim athleticism that makes him a uniquely dangerous target, especially down in the red zone. Owns more of a slender build, but has measured over 6-foot-5 multiple times and is blessed with a near 6-foot-10 wingspan. Isn't exactly the most polished route runner at this stage, but creates separation with unexpected suddenness for such a longer strider. Superb body control tends to create even more of a disadvantage for defensive backs as he wins 50-50 battles with timing and positioning. Not going to outrun every tackle, but is quick to hit the gas and can make some dynamic cuts in traffic. Spent much of freshman and sophomore seasons repping as a run first-quarterback out of necessity before settling in as a must-look option in Year 3 for a storied Miami Northwestern program that captured a 3A championship. Will need to add some body armour to a rather wiry frame in hopes of improving play strength and buy into the process at the school of his choice, but should be viewed as a potential impact pass catcher for a College Football Playoff contender that can be positioned all around the field in hopes of creating mismatches. One of those good-at-everything athletes that could legitimately play two spots in college as he's also being recruited by basketball high majors. Russell is rated highest by 247Sports, which has him as a five-star and the No. 21 overall player in the country, regardless of position. He's also the third-best wide receiver and second-rated player from the state of Florida. He's been to Miami the most, and he's coming off of his official there -- his seventh to Coral Gables. He's also visited Florida and Oregon three times. Russell has visited Ann Arbor before, having come to campus on March 17 of this year.
