Jameis Winston lied to Florida State about the obscenity story, leading the school to increase their punishment of him, according to reports.
On Tuesday, multiple students on FSU’s campus tweeted that Winston stood on a table in the middle of the student union and yelled out “f— her right in the p—y!”
A day later, Florida State announced that Winston would be suspended for the first half of the team’s game against Clemson. On Friday night, FSU released news that Winston would be suspended for the entire game.
CNN’s Rachel Nichols reported that the penalty was increased because Winston was not entirely truthful with the school.
Am being told increased penalty for FSU's Jameis Winston came after school discovered he'd not been entirely truthful with them.

FOX’s Bruce Feldman says the discrepancy has to do with where Winston was standing when he said the words.

Initially it was reported that Winston screamed the obscenity on top of a table in the student union, but tweets from students indicate he said the words repeatedly and in different parts of the campus:
Winston entered the season as one of the top prospects for the NFL draft, but due to all his off-field issues, he’s likely dropping. One NFL scout was even recently quoted as saying Winston is a “fraud.” This story definitely won’t help the character concerns about the FSU QB.
