FSU’s Winston is facing nothing but bad options. FSU, under federal “title 9” requirements must investigate the sexual assault allegation against Winston.

University rules prohibit a lawyer from representing Winston’s case, and as he has shown in the past, Winston has the ability to say and do the wrong thing at the worst time.
