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.

Yeah, I saw some of the preview stuff and one of the arguments against comparing it to other schools was to the like of just because others jump off a bridge doesn't mean you have to as well. Lame argument, IMO, and makes me question whether the piece is just a bunch of hot air.
