Ohio State’s Freshman Quarterback “Ain’t Come To Play SCHOOL”

Third-string QB and touted freshman Cardale Jones is mad as hell, and he’s… probably not going to be tweeting anymore.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

Cardale Jones is pretty pissed about going to school. I mean the nerve of Ohio State to give him a free education, and then expect him to attend classes? Don’t they know, he has better things to do? Like hold a clipboard.

It’s not that Cardale Jones doesn’t have a point, he does. At a place like Ohio State, the primary objective of someone like Jones should be football. He’s there to try to get playing time, win games, and eventually go to the NFL. He’s not there to get a sociology degree, that he’ll never use. (And while we’re at it, shouldn’t all prospective pro athletes have to major in business? How many Antoine Walkers do we need?) But despite the merits that his argument does have, maybe stating it like an angry, semi-literate child throwing a temper tantrum was not the best idea, even if he is only 19.

Regardless, Cardale’s account looks like this now:

So we probably won’t be hearing about any angry tweets of his for a while.

      Yes, because ALL college ball players move on to be in the NFL. Learning to do anything else with life is pointless.

      The point of school sports used to be (long ago) seeing which school had the group of students that were best at a given game. Then schools loaded their teams up with ringers instead of their normal student body, but they all do it, so I get that. But now the players shouldn’t even have to be students? How on earth do they expect the universities to try to pretend that they don’t only care about money if they can’t even meet the bare minimum requirement of having students play?

      Yeah, he expressed himself like an idiot, but I’d say that both the athletes and the schools know that these guys aren’t there “to play school.” The schools don’t really care about educating these guys, and in fact do everything in their power to make sure they coast through their remedial-level courses in order to stay eligible. For the schools it’s about the money these guys generate for their programs. The athletes ought to take advantage of the fact that they’re offered a proper college education, if they want it, but they generally don’t - even though a miniscule number of them make it to the NFL - and are happy with the remedial-level education they receive. It’s all a sham (a high school classmate of mine was a highly recruited running back, but had trouble reading a newspaper - regardless, he went on to play Division I ball). The schools might as well pay the athletes - these guys aren’t getting an education anyway, they’re just going through the motions, while the schools make money hand over fist.
