Exhibit 99.1

FINISH LINE REPORTS ON STATUS OF FINANCING FOR GENESCO TRANSACTION

INDIANAPOLIS September 19, 2007—The Finish Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:FINL) today said that it has received a request from UBS Loan Finance LLC and UBS Securities LLC (collectively “UBS”) for additional financial and other information regarding Genesco Inc. (NYSE: GCO), and has forwarded the request to Genesco. As previously announced, UBS provided The Finish Line with a commitment letter regarding financing for its proposed acquisition of Genesco.

In a separate communication to The Finish Line, UBS also stated that it “intends to defer any further work on the remaining closing documents… pending the results of its analyses of Genesco’s financial condition and performance.” UBS said that should it “be able to obtain a better understanding of Genesco’s financial condition and performance, UBS believes that if needed the remaining documents could be completed expeditiously thereafter.”

The Finish Line noted that while it continues to evaluate its options in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, it intends to continue working on the closing documents. The Company does not intend to make further comments at this time.
