The football team competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest level of college football.
The RedHawks' main rivals are the Ohio Bobcats of Ohio University, whose rivalry is known as the Battle of the Bricks. The two universities are the oldest in the state. Miami also has a rivalry with the Cincinnati Bearcats of the University of Cincinnati; the two schools are located 25 miles (40 km) apart and compete in football for the Victory Bell. Having first been played in 1888, the rivalry is tied for being the oldest in the FBS.
