I'm so happy to be done with the @NCAA and their rules & regulation. They do any & everything to exploited collegiate athletes.

— Cardale Jones (@CJ1two) April 11, 2016

It's deeper than athletes thinking we should get paid. The @NCAA control our lives with insane and unfair rules.

— Cardale Jones (@CJ1two) April 11, 2016

Why shouldn't a collegiate athlete be able to use their OWN likeness/brand to benefit themselves but yet the @NCAA can sell there jerseys????

— Cardale Jones (@CJ1two) April 11, 2016

That's my 2cent on the @NCAA .It's not like that's going to change how the athletes are exploited, even tho 98% of people feel the same way
