Congrats to him but it's kind of weird student athletes have a special sash.

Yeah. Kind of missed the point there. Regardless, congratulations to Jones.

I don't care what school you go to, anyone that leaves early and comes back to get his degree while still in the NFL gets a nice kudos.

Good for him. No matter rivals or not, always pull for these kids to be successful.

Good to see. Almost tweeted him to say congrats because he's come such a long way. But then it made me wonder: why tweet Cardale when there are so many MORE Nittany Lions deserving of praise across all sports who did all the work as recruited without all the fanfare? Happy for Cardale, but it's weird to celebrate the graduation of an OSU student-athlete who went to Columbus with the idea of skipping out on academics. Not into the whole "holier than thou" concept, but would rather acknowledge the hard work of countless Nittany Lions who chose the path of greater resistance in the name of a college education.

You can acknowledge Cardale Jones' accomplishments AND acknowledge what Nittany Lions players have accomplished.

One does not preclude the other.

Jones is the first in his immediate family to graduate college. Very nice.

Jones deserves a lot of credit. We take graduation for granted, but the stakes are not the same in Columbus. See Katzenmoyer. See Clarett. Good for Jones to grasp the educational brass ring.
