Main articles: Miami-FIU brawl
On October 14, 2006, FIU and the Miami Hurricanes met for the first time in what was supposed to be the beginning of an annual cross-town rivalry game. Nine minutes into the second half the two teams engaged in a brawl involving players from both schools, including one injured FIU player on crutches. The violence later spilled into the stands, where several spectators were arrested and later released without charges. On the field, police officers were hit with bottles from the stands.
31 players were later punished for the incident, including 13 Miami players and 18 FIU players. Two FIU players were kicked off the team.
