"How many reports do we get on guys all the time? We send it to the proper channels and they handle it and you move on," Fisher said.
Both the NCAA and another school, University of Alabama-Birmingham, have launched their own independent probes into the matter.
One of UAB’s own players, defensive end Chris Rabb, has been implicated in the media as having conspired with Winston.
Rabb, a former High School teammate of Winston’s, is said to have shared a gambling account with the Florida State football player since the beginning of October. This information comes from his supposed bookie, who is said to have had no knowledge of Winston's connection with Rabb approached him about setting up active wagering account.
TMZ.com broke the news Sunday of an NCAA investigation into the matter.
Initial reports claim that Winston conspired with Rabb to tank the 1st half of the FSU vs. Louisville game to help Rabb win a $5,000 bet.
When Fisher was asked to confirm whether the NCAA was investigating the issue, Fisher reiterated, "I just send it to the proper channels."
