Why legacy QB C.J. Carr spurned Michigan football for Notre Dame

SALINE — Inside a quiet school boardroom, about seven miles south of the 100,000-seat stadium where many assumed he would spend his college years, C.J. Carr flung a silver Notre Dame cap onto his head, revealed a Kelly green T-shirt beneath his blue jacket and announced he would play for the Fighting Irish.

To his left, a former Michigan football quarterback smiled. A few feet in front of him, the last Wolverines coach to win a national championship wore a look of pride. Carr knows them as dad (Jason Carr) and grandpa (Lloyd Carr).
