In order to improve his academic standing, Jones attended Fork Union Military Academy for a semester prior to his enrollment at Ohio State University in January 2012. College career 2012 season Jones redshirted as a freshman and thus did not play, but nevertheless drew controversy when he posted the following on his Twitter account : `` Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ai n't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS '' -- Cardale Jones, Twitter : October 5, 2012. The tweet received heavy criticism and Jones was suspended for one game.

In March 2014, head coach Urban Meyer described Jones as a `` different guy '' who was `` making progress in the classroom. '' Later, Jones provided context for the tweet : `` I remember I was in class, and I think I got, like, a B on a ( sociology ) exam. It was just something so stupid ; of course I did n't feel that way about academics, and I do n't. Nobody in this program feels that way, we actually take that stuff very serious around here. It was just a dumbass thing to do. I definitely did n't think that would happen. It was just a stupid thing to do at that time. It was something where I just got pissed because I studied my ass off.
