Michigan national championship parade route: Date, time, locations and more

The Michigan Wolverines are national champions for the first time in more than 25 years. It's been a long road for Jim Harbaugh at the helm of his alma mater, including most considering him to be on the hot seat after a disastrous 2020 season amid the COVID-shortened schedule.
