Cardale Jones’ legacy lives on. This will be the last time any journalist thinks about asking Ja’Marr Chase or any other major college football player about studying for exams. They didn’t study, okay. They were there to win games, get money and championships and play football. We also need to stop using school as a benchmark for football. Not playing on Thursday evening is not the same as cramming for a test. Cramming for a test means staying up late reading index cards, notes, and books. Thursday Night Football tries not to get injured.

This should always be the answer if you are a big time athlete at a big school. Never study that nonsense again. We all know you go to college because you have to. You can’t go straight to the NFL or NBA. They go to college to major in their sport. I don’t know why people still act shocked that these guys don’t care about Algebra 101. When you can make plays like Ja’Marr Chase, you don’t have to worry about what x is on Wednesday morning.

You don’t understand the saying “It Just Means More” in the SEC unless former stars talk like that. Now I know that at a prestigious academic school like Kentucky, it can be shocking to hear former basketball players say things like this, just like LSU football. Just know that these guys came to play football, not to go to school. Don’t you dare ask them about studying.
