Originally posted by Munchkin03 Miami was a University before Florida was a state.
It's a valid point, though. Miami of Ohio was founded just a few years after Ohio University. O.U. was 1804, I believe Miami was 1808 or maybe 1811 (?).
In any event, both have been around a long time, and it is frustrating to be confused with newer or larger schools (Like Ohio State in our case)
