Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones, now preparing for the NFL Draft, has been a rock star on Twitter during his collegiate career. From his early moment of infamy when he tweeted about not playing school to his must-follow status following the Buckeyes’ national championship run two seasons ago, Jones has rarely been one to shy away from sharing his feelings in 140 characters or fewer. Now officially done with the shackles of the NCAA, Jones fired up his Twitter account and blasted the organization for doing everything to benefit themselves before the student-athletes.

The NCAA rule book has long been a point of contention for college football and basketball fans. Despite more recent efforts to try and trim down the rule book and provide a more lenient stance on outdated philosophies and ideals, the NCAA continues to befuddle more often than not it seems. The most recent ruling decisions made last week by the NCAA Division 1 Council will allow coaches to send unlimited texts and electronic communications to recruits and will shut down all satellite camp practices that have been a hot-button issue for the past two years. Each rule seems contradictory to the NCAA’s mission of benefitting the student-athletes, which has not gone without contention in the past few days.

Jones directed his rant back toward the player likeness debate, which could be close to be relaxed by the NCAA.
