Within a year of his arrival at Miami, the sixth-year athletic director said some programs told him they wouldn’t come to Oxford again.
“I think it’s a shame. I think it’s important to celebrate rivalries and kind of make a big deal out of them and let fans enjoy them. I’m hoping we can do more things down the road including with Dayton and Xavier in all sports. Why aren’t we playing more often? It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense, why these schools are telling us they don’t want to play us anymore,” Sayler said.

Another great article from Shannon Russell. Also Greg Christopher's summary of Xavier's scheduling philosophy was great.

Miami, Dayton, UC, X, and Scheduling in the New Era of Basketball
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Miami hasn't had a winning record in a decade. Why would we continue to play them H/H and let them pull down our metrics while they neglect their program? Especially with conference seasons heading for 20 games, there's room for a consistently sub 250 kenpom team as a road game...

There’s no way this guy doesn’t know why we won’t play them. They suck thats why. I also don’t like this guy bashing us publicly/grouping us in with uc when we are playing them this year and we play 4/5 local games every year

Only LH considers Miami (OH) to be a major rival.
LH, Miami, etc.

A greater mystery this week is Miami being favored to beat UC. UC won at UCLA last weekend and Miami lost at home to Marshall.

I once heard that X agreed to continue playing the home and home, but demanded a certain amount of money when played in Oxford, and Miami said, "We can't afford that." So the series was cancelled.
