Are the coaches and faculty without blame?
Governor Bush Weighs in on Miami-FIU Brawl
Bush: 'It Was Horrible, a Complete Embarrassment'
Separated by only 9 miles, Florida International and the University of Miami are worlds apart when it comes to football. The crosstown matchup of underdog versus perennial power stirred strong sentiments when they met for the first time Saturday night, and emotions erupted in the second half with a bench-clearing brawl.
"It's unfortunate that some folks who have never heard of Florida International University now associate it with what occurred at the Orange Bowl on Saturday night," said Alvarez, class of '74. "FIU has made great strides as a university. It has a law school and is going to have a medical school. It's a first-rate school."
No one was injured, but the melee has been played repeatedly on national television, hurting the image of both schools.
Was this matter overblown or were the 31 suspensions justified?
