Florida State's Karlos Williams subject to university inquiry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State running back Karlos Williams is subject to a Title IX investigation by the university for his role in a possible domestic battery case.

Florida State would not confirm if it would investigate Williams, citing privacy policies.

But university spokeswoman Browning Brooks issued a statement Wednesday saying, ''While each set of facts and circumstances is different, as a general matter notice of any Title IX-related issues would prompt an investigation.''

The Tallahassee Police Department confirmed it is investigating an alleged domestic battery case involving Williams. It said it continues despite the woman involved filing an affidavit asking police to end the investigation.

Brooks confirmed the university reported what happened to police. Federal policy dictates that universities must investigate possible Title IX violations if they are aware of an incident.
