TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - A school conduct code hearing looking into rape allegations against Florida State University star quarterback Jameis Winston entered a second day on Wednesday in a crucial week for one of America's highest profile athletes.
The 20-year-old sophomore, the top U.S. college football player last year after winning the Heisman Trophy, competes on Saturday in a conference title game that could decide whether the Florida State Seminoles advance to the sport's first collegiate playoffs.
Yet Winston's off-field behavior is under intense scrutiny as a former Florida Supreme Court justice hears testimony in a twice-delayed student disciplinary proceeding into allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman two years ago.

“Does this have anything to do with the rankings?”
No. That is an extra-legal school policy violation inquiry. Actually, if Jameis Winston WERE kicked out of school, he would be BETTER off: Straight into the NFL!
Jimbo Fisher and whatever passes for FSU administration should just have the balls to suspend him from the team. Even if they lose their football games then, they'll gain something far better.
