FAU bowls 2-0
FIU bowls 1-1
Head to head FAU 8-2

Without looking it up, I feel safe in assuming they probably hold at least a small advantage in basketball as well, at least in recent years anyhow.

Personally I think if one is taken by the Alliance, it's basically a coin flip and I think either would be just as likely to be successful in the Alliance as the other.

It's kind of funny that you think you guys have truly distinguishable programs to pretty much anyone outside of the Sun Belt or that either of you has a true advantage on the other, what's funnier is you're the one on the wrong end of the all time series and bowl records and FAU does have the nicer stadium and yet you're acting all indignant about someone saying they prefer FAU. Not saying you shouldn't stick up for your program, but don't act like he said he preferred Stetson over FIU, good grief.

You already know I agree with you. I think both schools are almost mirror's of each other. With lil differences here and there. Current Football records are most likely the VERY last thing a confrence is looking at.

FAU has owned FIU in football. I think all time basketball is alsmost a wash (Havent looked it up) with FAU dominating recently.

It wouldnt surprise me to see both FAU and FIU get an invite. If you want a Florida presence it just makes sense to snag both for travel and recruiting purposes. Whether it would be the best move for either school is up in the air.

Just not enough info out there on the Alliance.
