yeah, FSU fans have been grumbling for a few days, already pre-emptively calling it a "hit piece" before it came out. The newspaper put out some sort of article hinting that it was coming and that FSU fans would be unhappy and would probably circle the wagons and attack the paper for it, but for the sake of journalism they had to push forward.
From what I could see, they are going to try to make the argument that FSU's athletic department wastes a bunch of money, but I'd need to see a fair comparison with other similar schools, because when you look at the USA Today data that came out a month or so ago, FSU's expenses didn't seem out of line with their peers. Unless they want to argue that EVERY major BCS school is wasteful, which would be a harder sell.
