On Thursday, the Michigan Board of Regents approved the athletic department's request to name the tunnel at Michigan Stadium after former head coach Lloyd Carr.
The school will officially dedicate the tunnel in Carr's honor during a ceremony before the Oct. 15 game against Penn State.
Carr is the third-winningest coach in U-M football history, following Fielding Yost and Bo Schembechler. In Carr's 13 seasons as head coach, the Wolverines went 122-40 and won the 1997 national championship. Carr also won five Big Ten titles and had six 10-win seasons.
