Florida State Seminoles head football coach Jimbo Fisher is reportedly laying down the internal law to keep his players out of trouble by banning them from bars.

Jim Henry of the Tallahassee Democrat reported on the strict disciplinary measure Saturday, which comes in response to multiple arrests and controversy surrounding the university's football program.

FSU president John Thatcher also released a statement

As I have previously said, I have no tolerance for the type of behavior alleged in these cases. We expect all of our students, especially our student-athletes who represent this university in the public spotlight, to adhere to the highest standards.

I have asked Coach Fisher and Athletics Director Stan Wilcox to develop a plan to help our student-athletes understand the consequences of these kinds of actions. This will include Coach Fisher meeting immediately with his team to reiterate, in no uncertain terms, our expectations of them. I also plan to meet with the team, and we will be asking professionals who deal with these matters, including State Attorney Willie Meggs, to speak with them.
