hmmm, I pull out my gun and shoot at you until it is empty and because there was no injury there was no foul??
I applaude FIU..the U should have done the very same thing... including community service for everyone...

Doesnt matter who started it......it was assinine on all parts. And i didnt see a FIU player forcing the U WR to point and bow to them after the TD.
The U is a joke.....and they really need to do some house cleaning.

nope. ive seen dudes get their jaw broken in fights. ive seen a guy get flipped over on his head and get stomped by 10 dudes, and was in the hospital 2 months. gettin stomped in the south is not a new phenomeom. its nothing new. it certainly aint vile, specially when a guy is whereing a helmet and they cant kick where everyone usually aims.

I will. FIU definitely started this fight and UM is getting a bum rap because of their reputation and because of the fight that took place at LSU and against Florida in that bowl game a few years back. Clearly both teams actions were horrible but the FIU players started it cause they were pissed that UM player taunted them after scoring a touchdown. I've seen worse taunting then what that kid did and even though both schools were wrong, I think UM is getting way more heat then FIU and it's unfair!

Of course Miami is getting more heat. For the same reason Artest or TO get more heat when they do something that another player does. You have to take history into account and the punishment that the two schools handed out.

Miami president supports sanctions
Florida International's Chris Smith (right) was kicked off the team on Monday.
Shaking her fist for emphasis, Miami president Donna Shalala said Tuesday that sanctions levied against 13 players for their role in a sideline-clearing brawl were fair, justified and strong enough to satisfy the university.
All that, though, came with one big caveat: Miami athletes simply can never fight again, she said.
"This university will be firm and punish people who do bad things," Shalala said. "But we will not throw any student under the bus for instant restoration of our image or our reputation. I will not hang them in a public square. I will not eliminate their participation at the university. I will not take away their scholarships."
Miami officials have enacted a new rule that any athlete who fights will be dismissed from that team, a "new standard ... zero tolerance" policy. That, along with 12 one-game suspensions, one indefinite suspension and orders that all players involved in Saturday night's brawl with Florida International do community service, is sufficient punishment, Shalala said.
"It's time for the feeding frenzy to stop," Shalala said. "These young men made a stupid, terrible, horrible mistake and they are being punished."

Donna Shalala says "the buck stops here", yet she hasn't watched the tape of the fight. How can you claim ultimate accountability if you won't review the specifics of the incident?
