Updated on Sept. 1 at 3:08 p.m.: Florida State strength and conditioning coach Vic Viloria has been suspended for 30 days, which amounts to one-third of the season, after being arrested for a DUI over the weekend.

More details have emerged about the incident and why Viloria began drinking in his office in the first place. According to the Tallahassee Democrat, members of a Showtime crew set up in Tallahassee, Florida -- in town to follow FSU around for the 2016 edition of its "A Season With ..." program -- appear to have gifted Viloria a bottle of whiskey that kick-started the chain of events that night.

Florida State released the following statement about the short-term future of Viloria how it understands the incident took place.

Viloria's suspension will cover one-third of the football team's 12-game regular-season schedule. The coach said he was given a bottle of whisky by the "Showtime" crew to celebrate the end of preseason camp, and that he opened the bottle in his office and began to drink with two or three "Showtime" employees. Viloria said he decided it was "inappropriate" to drink in his office where "other university employees or students could possibly see us," so Viloria and the employees moved to the "Showtime" trailer.


"I have suspended Coach Viloria for more than a third of the football season to send a strong message about the very serious nature of his offense," FSU president John Thrasher said in a statement.

"We have an outstanding athletics program, and fans must know it operates with class and reflects the university's values. We are continuing to work with Showtime on their fall series showcasing our talented team, and they have been responsive to our concerns."

Original story

Florida State's strength coach has done a ton for the Seminoles during the offseason, but is causing a big headache for the university after an embarrassing arrest on Friday night.

According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Vic Viloria was found asleep at the wheel of his truck on the I-10 off-ramp in Tallahassee at 5:06 a.m. early Saturday morning. When officers tried to wake him, he tried to start driving again and hit an electronic cross-walk sign.

The resulting charges, DUI and property damage, are only the start of the strength coach's worries.

Viloria reportedly acknowledged he should not have been driving and told police he had been drinking -- "multiple big alcoholic beverages," per the Democrat -- in his office, on Florida State's campus.

So when Florida State's official statement offers no comment and references "the human resources policy," it's referring to drinking on campus as a violation of the school's employee handbook. Now Viloria, who just inked a new deal with a raise this offseason, is not just subject to punishment from Jimbo Fisher or the athletic director, but also the university administration.

It's not the best timing for Viloria considering the ongoing behind-the-scenes series, "A Season with Florida State Football," is filming and will premiere on Sept. 6 on Showtime.
