This fella, Jeff Shain who writes for the Miami Herald (though I plucked this from the Austin American Statesman) makes it seem that the Holy Cross-Darmouth altercation a few weeks ago as well as the schools handling of it, was far worse than the incident and handling by Miami/Florida International.
Seems a Miami writer is looking out for his local team...

Commentary: The brawl that drew no penalties
Ivy League fight draws much less furor than Miami incident.

MIAMI — For all the flak heaped upon University of Miami officials for the underwhelming penalties stemming from the Orange Brawl, check out the fallout at Dartmouth and Holy Cross.
By comparison, Miami President Donna Shalala comes out looking like Sheriff Buford Pusser.
Two weeks have elapsed since the Big Green and Crusaders rumbled at midfield following Holy Cross' overtime win. The next player suspended — heck, identified — will be the first.
Dartmouth waited four days before even issuing an apology for what took place on its home field. "The actions displayed (Oct. 14) were not in keeping with acceptable standards of behavior at Dartmouth," athletic director JoAnn Harper said in a statement.
