I’m sure no one is surprised by this but Florida State Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston was ruled to have not violated university conduct code.  Which means he’s free to compete in the Rose Bowl against the Oregon Ducks on New Year’s Day.

A woman had accused Winston of sexually assaulting her in his off-campus apartment in December 2012.

“The preponderance of the evidence has not shown that you are responsible for any of the charge violations of the Code,” Major Harding, a former Florida State Supreme Court Chief Justice who oversaw the case, said in a letter to the parties obtained by the Associated Press and USA Today. “Namely, I find that the evidence before me is insufficient to satisfy the burden of proof.”

“This was a complex case, and I worked hard to make sure both parties had a full and fair opportunity to present information,” Harding said in the statement.

The accuser has until Jan. 13 to appeal the ruling.
