The annual series between Cincinnati and Miami (OH) has been extended through 2029, the schools reported Monday.
“Rivalries that date back into the 1800’s are uniquely valued and are deserving of being treasured by our collective fan bases, students and alumni,” Cincinnati Director of Athletics Mike Bohn stated in the release. “We recognize the opportunity to escalate the intensity of interest in the series with this extension and utilizing Paul Brown Stadium within the mix of venues to compete. Both institutions are committed to building upon the rich history of the rivalry and we look forward to fostering a high level of pageantry through widespread community support of college football in Cincinnati.”
