It was Jones that made it a big deal. It was Jones that made it an unnecessary distraction and attention grab. And it will be Jones who'll have to live this one down.

Lol yeah Florio, nobody in the country was speculating if Cardale would go pro or not. It was no big deal at all prior to Cardale scheduling a press conference.

The media is just pissed because the "Cardale stays in school" narrative isn't as sexy and can't be played out through the NFL draft. Now they'll have to find some other bullshit to write about.

Blaming the media is a cop out. QB of national title winning team announces sudden press conference to make life changing decision *blasts Drake* oh my stars and bars can't the media just tone it down on stuff like this?

He'd have to sit a year if he transferred in conference so actually no

I think he'd have to sit a year if he transferred anywhere, actually, considering he hasn't completed his undergrad.

He'd have to sit a year unless he transferred to the FCS.

It'd be a great career move because Harbaugh is the Quarterback Whisperer, not because he'd be able to start next season.

He's already 22. He'd be a 24-year-old redshirt senior with one full year starting (if that) if he transferred anywhere. Great career move.

Honestly, how mad can you actual be at the media with Jones bringing this entirely on himself.

It wasn't "Cardale Jones press conference 4PM" it was "Cardale Jones' Super Terrific Happy Hour Lifetime Decision Making Funtime Tour WUB WUB WUB WUB". He decided to be a troll, he trolled, some people decided not to like it.

Don't misinterpret what I said about Mariota for meaning you can't call a press conference to announce a return, that's not the point.

Cardale Jones trolling the media was utterly fantastic, and I'm surprised more big-name college players don't do something similar.

If I'm the star QB of Michigan, and I can basically hold a press conference that dominates ESPN right before recruiting starts up again, where I can talk about how great my school is....why wouldn't more guys do that? It's recruiting gold, that no one else can touch until it becomes routine.

Given how ridiculous the NFL media types were about the Harbaugh situation, I am not surprised that they are huge babies.

I'm pretty sure Cardale Jones could transfer to whoever NDSU plays next year and NDSU would still win. Cardale magic can't beat NDSU.

NDSU is going to win every FCS championship from now until the end of time.

Fine with me. We only beat OSU this year because we ran some kind of weird 5-2 in our front seven and brought pressure in ways Barrett hadn't seen before, and even Urban Meyer said he couldn't figure it out until it was too late.

We'll just do the same thing to Cardale, only this time we'll lose because of regression to the mean.
