Jameis Winston's dad said his son would be at Florida State for another two years, but circumstances change. That was before Jameis Winston had been caught shoplifting shellfish, suspended due to lewd behavior for the Clemson game, an autograph scandal, and had a Florida State investigation opened into an alleged sexual assault.

In other words, it might be time for ol' Jameis Winston to get out of dodge. But, according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, Jameis Winston won't drop out of Florida State:

Some have suggested that Florida State star quarterback Jameis Winston might drop out of school as a way to avoid the institution's investigation into prior sexual assault charges brought against him, as well as an inquiry into whether he violated NCAA rules for being compensated for autographs, but several sources close to him said that is in no way a consideration.

Winston intends to fight vigilantly to maintain his innocence in both instances, however, given the current state of his relationship with the upper reaches of FSU, it has become a certainty he will declare for the NFL Draft. Winston led the Seminoles to a wild win vs. Notre Dame Saturday night to preserve their national title hopes.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported last week Jameis Winston's actions have caused him to slide down numerous draft boards and likely cost the Florida State quarterback a few million dollars.
