PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says the Seminoles are "stepping up" their process of educating players about domestic violence and other issues, after a pair of high-profile allegations overshadowed the program in recent weeks.
Fisher says the team has started a four-step program to address the problems, and that character-building exercises have been part of the FSU football culture for years.
Running back Dalvin Cook has been suspended from the team indefinitely after it was alleged that he punched a woman outside a Tallahassee bar, which subsequently led to him being charged. That news came not long after freshman quarterback De'Andre Johnson was kicked off the team after video showed him punching a woman in the face in a bar.
