There are occasions when a story comes out that is so obvious that it just boggles the mind that a person could be so idiotic as to not see it for what it is.
Ohio State third-string quarterback Cardale Jones provided us another of those moments.
In one tweet, he exposed the truth about big-time college football, the business it is, and the truth about what college football really is:
“Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain’t come to play SCHOOL classes are POINTLESS”
If that isn't the attitude, diction, grammar level, and mentality of a "man" who has been passed through everything in his life (including, almost certainly, his high-school cheerleading squad), I don't know what is.
Scariest thing: He's RIGHT. There's no way he passes college -- there's no way, even as corrupt as THE Ohio State University has become in college football, that he's going to last four (or more!) years at that institution with that attitude and not either get himself tossed for grades (even with the inevitable "help" he will receive to try to keep him eligible, legal and otherwise!) or for misconduct...
But the fact is that he is not there as a student.
We are not fooled.
He is only there to graduate magna cum laude with a degree in NFL Quarterback.
From there, he's one contract (he thinks!) from being set for life.
It's long past time, especially in the age of the corrupt BCS (and it's corrupt successor) and the owners of college football -- ESPN, to accept that this is not "college" football.
His attitude should get him smacked up side the head at the next practice, but I defy you to find five players at tOSU who really are there to get an education.
They want to play on Sunday...
Is it no wonder that this is the same school which got busted for selling likenesses for tattoos, etc.?
