Florida State is proceeding with a school investigation of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jameis Winston related to the alleged rape of a fellow FSU student in 2012, an attorney for the woman told USA TODAY Sports.

Florida State officials traveled to where the woman lives in early August to interview her for the first time since she reported the alleged assault to police in Dec. 2012.

"They assured us that the Title IX process was going to move forward," said John Clune, a Title IX attorney representing the woman. "The interview went pretty well. I think it was a positive experience, and everyone felt like the university was taking it very seriously."

Clune said the lengthy interview with his client gave FSU more information than it previously had from the Tallahassee police department investigation. He said FSU officials interviewed two other people but that he does not know if Winston has been interviewed.

So we hear about all the universities that are suspending or expelling men accused of rape without a trial, and then we have this case.

I seriously doubt it.

This won't end well for FSU. Couldn't they get sued like Missou for breaking Tittle 9 laws?

fricking incredible that they didn't even attempt to do this when it was in the national news... If they had any desire to truly do something, they would have.

This is a slap in the face that they are even bringing it up now. They have no intention of finding out the truth and should have just sat on their hands.

FSU is apparently following the actions of the Obama administration, IRS and DOJ. Keep putting things off until people raise hell then slow play the investigation.

So they're playing him despite the fact that they're investigating something about him that could hurt them in any game he played in?

Is this a joke?

This has to be a joke.

I thought they had done the interviews and everything prior to this season and cleared him. They JUST interviewed the poor student?! Shame on FSU.

Maybe Jimbo has been making them stall until he found a worthy replacement for Winston.
