There is a hierarchy of power in college football and money sits alone at the top. Todd Gurley is alleged to have accepted money for signing his autograph so the University of Georgia suspended him indefinitely until the outcome of the investigation. Jameis Winston at Florida State will keep on playing. The latest ESPN report states that it has not been proven that he accepted any money for signing his autograph to over 2,000 items for a business. Some of these autographs are sequentially numbered. Jameis Winston said he did not get paid and Florida State believes him. He was suspended one time already this season against Clemson because they had him on video doing something wrong.
Florida State should suspend him again. Winston also plays baseball for Florida Stae. He was suspended during the baseball season. How many strikes does he get? I guess the rules are different depending on during which sports season he screws up in. Two sport icon Bo Jackson even tried to take Winston under his wing but Winston was not about to have any part of that leaving Jackson to state "I don't know who is advising him.". Jackson gave up on Winston and threw his hands up in exasperation. A pattern of behavior has developed here. Integrity and college football have not gone hand-in-hand in the past several years and most the top tier college football teams have decided that via con deniro is the only motto that matters.
Florida State will play Notre Dame tonight with Jameis Winston leading them at Quarterback and some professional team will throw an armored car full of money at Winston to lead them and it seems like a similar scenario has played itself out about once or twice a season. The beat goes on.
