Ex-Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones rips NCAA for exploiting student-athletes

Cardale Jones on yet another Twitter rant in response to the NCAA banning satellite camps.

We’ve seen former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones speak his mind freely on Twitter before. Tweeting about pointless classes, the depth chart or calling out haters, Jones has always been vocal on the Internet.

No longer a part of the NCAA, on his way to the NFL as a quarterback draft hopeful, he decided to get something off his chest, ripping the NCAA.

He’s now glad he no longer has to abide by the rules that restrict student-athletes.

The argument for paying players could go on for days, but Jones says this goes further than the student-athletes being paid for their services on the field, despite the revenue they bring to the university or league.

Schools are starting to change up their jersey sales, no longer selling player specific jerseys. Instead, they sell the number of the current year. So for 2016, there are many schools who will sell a jersey with the number 16 on it. But there are plenty of schools who still sell jerseys with the numbers of their star players. And the NCAA promotes on it on their own website.

Whether you support the payment of players or not, when you look at the NCAA and how they exploit their student-athletes, you have to admit that it is a bit unfair.

Is this Twitter rant going to hurt is draft stock? Probably not. But he should be careful about what he tweets out. It’s hard to imagine teams enjoy the headache of a vocal player on social media. Nothing a little rookie symposium meeting can’t fix Jones.
