Though the proposed budget was approved by an overwhelming majority of the board, members Betty Steffens, Larry Pendleton and Jim Smith raised their hands in objection.
Smith delivered a passionate plea for the board to re-consider the budget, saying that he would not support a decrease in spending in athletics at a time when FSU’s competitors continue to increase their budgets…
“Florida State needs to decide if we’re going to be in big-time athletics or not,” Smith said after the meeting.
How do you keep stupid schools stupid? Schools like Jim Smith’s Florida State?
Well, there are lots of ways.
But the best way is to keep putting guys like Jim on your boards.

Ah, the Cold War approach to budgets. And we all know how well that ended for the losers.
