The article really rips FSU leadership for not sanctioning Winston, who has gotten away with things no other student or athlete would ever get away with.
Were Jameis Winston a fourth-string punter rather than a first-string quarterback, he almost certainly would have long since been kicked off the Florida State football team, probably for good.
Instead, the Heisman Trophy-winning problem child is being protected by his university and athletics department for the worst reason possible. He is being coddled because of what he can do for them....
...The kid has barely left his teenage years and already has not one but two attorneys. I don’t care how many awards he has won. This is not the way you want to start out life as an adult....

...Those are the people who have done what they wanted for themselves and their football program, while doing almost nothing for an immature young athlete who so desperately needed the ethical guidance and moral leadership they never supplied...
