The '''Miami University''' Redhawks compete as members of the [[Mid-American Conference]] in [[NCAA Division I FBS]] football and in [[NCAA Division I]] basketball.  Miami is a public institution located in Oxford, Ohio, a half-hour northwest of Cincinnati.  The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 19,000.  In 1997, the teams' nicknames were changed to Redhawks from "Redskins," for obvious sensitivity reasons.

The campus occupies the entirety of Oxford between downtown and Four Mile Creek, which marks the eastern border of the town. US 27 (Patterson Avenue and College Corner Pike) cuts through campus, turning north-to-west at the center; OH-73 (Oxford-Trenton Road) serves the southern section of campus, and OH-732 skirts the northwestern edge. Yager Stadium (24,286) and Millett Hall (6,400) are in that northwestern tongue, on Bonham Road. The nearest freeway is 20 miles to the south; exit 33 off I-275 in suburban Cincinnati is the US 27 exit, and it's over 30 miles to any point on I-70 to the north.

[[Ohio]] is Miami's arch-rival, and [[Cincinnati]] isn't far down the totem pole. Miami doesn't really have the strong rivalries one might suspect with the basketball-centric schools in the immediate area such as [[Xavier]], [[Dayton]], and [[Wright State]].

Miami has sent eight players to the NBA, including Wally Szczerbiak, Ron Harper, and Hall of Famer Wayne Embry. They've shipped off over 70 players to the NFL, lef by QB Ben Roethlisberger and RB Sherman Smith. But Miami's big claim to fame is all the coaches. So, so many. The Cradle of Coaches has nurtured such legends as Earl Blaik, Ara Parseghian, Jim Tressel, John Pont, and both Woody Hayes ''and'' Bo Schembechler. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
