Ohio State third-string quarterback Cardale Jones made his feelings about attending classes clear Friday on Twitter. "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," he wrote. The tweet and Jones' entire account have been deleted, but multiple media outlets captured Jones' words before they vanished. Jones is behind Braxton Miller and Kenny Guiton on the depth chart and has not played a down for Ohio State. Jones signed with the Buckeyes in February 2011, but spent last year at a military prep school in Virginia to boost his academics, the Detroit Free Press reported. ESPN ranked him as the nation's 33rd-best quarterback in the 2011 class. In June, Ohio State was recognized because its multiyear Academic Progress Rate scores were in the top 10 percent of Division I football teams. OSU also received the same honor in 2011.

I know there are lots of guys who do get their college education from playing ball.
