Florida State opens investigation of Jameis Winston

Florida State has opened a Title IX investigation into quarterback Jameis Winston, according to reports from USA Today and The New York Times.

Winston was allegedly involved in a sexual assault of a fellow student in 2012 and the attorney for Winston's accuser told USA Today and The Times that the school is proceeding with an investigation into the matter.

"They assured us that the Title IX process was going to move forward," attorney John Clune told USA Today. "The interview went pretty well. I think it was a positive experience, and everyone felt like the university was taking it very seriously."

Title IX requires universities to investigate complaints of sexual violence. The process is separate from any investigation undertaken by police and must be prosecuted regardless if law enforcement officials decline to press charges.


"There are some good people who want to do the right thing on one side of campus, then you have one of the most powerful athletic departments in the country on the other side of the campus with the No. 1 football team in the nation," Clune told The Times. "I think we will find out pretty quickly how that struggle will shake out."

I'll be pretty shocked if the University finds anything at all on their star athlete and the guy helping keep their football team in the national spotlight and making them millions upon millions of dollars. This is all for show, IMO.

There is just too much off the field issues with this guy to ignore

this is just a nasty deal all the way around.
on one hand you have a female that did not initially cooperate with police (hardly shocking or rare in these cases but still a concern).
their were other people present who obviously defend Winston so the female had little chance of winning any case in any court which makes any money grab unlikely or unrealistic.
neither party looks good from this.

winston seems to feel he is above the law. comes off as a very entitled frat boy type.
he reminds me so much of ben r it isn't even funny.

I thought we did this already? Or did I just witness the future, and didn't know

They(FSU) should have done this already, but they didn't. It probably isn't going to change anything, but they are finally getting around to what they should have done in the first place.

I'm going to open up my own investigation and when I'm done, I will have gotten just as much accomplished as FSU.
