Location

While FIU main campus' postal address states "Miami" as the city, it is actually located in an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County known as Westchester. 2600:8800:3E98:2400:4DC4:47B9:DAAC:1F83 (talk) 22:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Isiah “Thompson”

I mentioned this before, but it had been deleted.

When Isiah Thomas was introduced as the head coach of the men's basketball team, he was introduced by the wrong name.

Here's the proof : It's on YouTube under "Isiah Thompson, New FIU Panthers Head Coach"

It's also on YouTube under "Sportscenter Intro- Berkman screws up Isiah Thomas' name".

I tried putting the links here, but it kept giving an error message.

@Mjpk6269 My response to you is this. Is that fact due weight in the broad article about FIU? Probably. FIU Panthers men's basketball didn't even mention Thomas was the coach, but I just fixed that and added newspaper sourcing. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 17:24, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
