    The Miami Hurricanes and the North Carolina Tarheels will end their annual rivalry this season.  In 2004, Miami vs. North Carolina would not be close to a rivalry. But, North Carolina has owned Miami in this rivalry since the start. Miami fans wanted to be in the Atlantic Coast conference so they could be part of rivalries.

    From the article, “The Psychology of Sports Rivalries“,  Sigmund Freud explains why rivals are created. ” In short, competing teams don’t want to lose to one another. The West Virginia-Pitt rivalry, “Backyard Brawl” is a great example. That loss would mean a loss of confidence and security. The University of Miami has the great football tradition while, North Carolina has enjoyed more recognition in basketball.
