Miami, FIU rekindling their sports relationships
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The infamous on-field brawl in 2006 between Miami and FIU’s football teams was over in a couple of minutes. The fallout and often-frosty relationship between the schools has lingered for about a decade.
Times are changing.
For the first time since 2008, Miami and FIU have scheduled baseball games — four games in the upcoming 2017 season, two at the Hurricanes’ stadium and two on the Panthers’ campus about nine miles away.
