Florida State officials suspended reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston for foolish behavior on campus Tuesday.  Below is the statement from Interim President Garnett S. Stokes and Athletic Director Stan Wilcox:

9-17-2014

As the university's most visible ambassadors, student-athletes at Florida State are expected to uphold at all times high standards of integrity and behavior that reflect well upon themselves, their families, coaches, teammates, the Department of Athletics and Florida State University.  Student-athletes are expected to act in a way that reflects dignity and respect for others.

As a result of his comments yesterday, which were offensive and vulgar, Jameis Winston will undergo internal discipline and will be withheld from competition for the first half of the Clemson game.

The University and athletics department will have not further comment on the matter.
