      This Amendment No. 2 amends the statement on Schedule 13D which was 
filed on February 24, 1997 by the undersigned and amended by Amendment No. 1
on April 11, 1997 (as amended, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to Class A
common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), issued by The 
Finish Line, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").  Capitalized 
terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the 
meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

      Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify
any of the information previously reported on Schedule 13D.

                   *                     *                   *

The following paragraph of Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 

      (a)   The approximate aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock
reported beneficially owned by each person herein is based on 16,940,774
outstanding shares of Common Stock (and, where noted, 25,942,248 which 
reflects outstanding shares of Class A and Class B shares of common stock) 
as of December 20, 1996, as reflected in the Company's quarterly report on 
Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
"Commission") for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 1996 (which is the
most recent Form 10-Q on file).

      As of the close of business on April 21, 1997:

            (i)   Vinik Partners owns beneficially 348,800 shares of Common
Stock, constituting approximately 2.1% (1.3%)* of the shares outstanding. 
            (ii)  VAM LP owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By
reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Act"), VAM LP may be deemed to own beneficially 463,200
shares (constituting approximately 2.7% (1.8%)* of the shares outstanding) 
held by Vinik Overseas, and 28,100 shares of Common Stock (constituting 
approximately 0.2% (0.1%)* of the shares outstanding) held by the 
Discretionary Account, which, when aggregated, total 491,300 shares of Common
Stock, constituting approximately 2.9% (1.9%)* of the shares outstanding.

            (iii)  Messrs. Vinik, Gordon and Hostetter each directly owns no 
shares of Common Stock.  By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act,
each may be deemed to beneficially own the 348,800 shares beneficially owned
by Vinik Partners, the 463,200 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas,
and the 28,100 shares beneficially owned by the Discretionary Account.  
Such shares total 840,100 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately
4.96% (3.2%)* of the shares outstanding.
            (iv)  VGH owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By reason 
of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VGH may be deemed to own 
beneficially the 348,800 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Partners,
constituting approximately 2.1% (1.3%)* of the shares outstanding.
            (v)  VAM LLC owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By reasons
of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VAM LLC may be deemed to own the
463,200 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas and the 28,100 shares 
beneficially owned by the Discretionary Account.  When the shares beneficially
owned by Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary Account are aggregated they
total 491,300 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.9% (1.9%)*
of the shares outstanding.
            (vi)  In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially
own a total of 840,100 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately
4.96% (3.2%)* of the shares outstanding. 

* Percentages based on total Class A and Class B shares outstanding.

                       *           *            *

      (c)   The trading dates, number of shares of Common Stock purchased or 
sold and price per share for all transactions in the Common Stock since those 
reported in Schedule 13D until April 21, 1997 by Vinik Partners and by VAM LP,
on behalf of Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary Account, are set forth in 
Schedules A, B and C.  

                      *              *                 *                    

The following paragraph is hereby added to Item 5:

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 

      (e)   As of April 21, 1997 the Reporting Persons ceased to be the 
beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Company's Common Stock.
