    Va. Tech near verdict on Vick



    Comparing it to what Butler did (which was worse) makes me think much won't be done...A game or 2 max...

    From yesterday's Rumor Mill:



    TECH TO SUSPEND VICK



    According to The Hampton Roads (Va.) Daily Press, Virginia Tech quarterback will be suspended an undetermined number of games, if he returns to the school in 2006.



    Tech coach Frank Beamer will meet with Vick and his mother on Friday. If he is unwilling to accept the suspension, his only options are to transfer to another school or turn pro. A transfer to another Division I-A school would require him to sit out an entire season; he could play immediately if he jumps to a Division I-AA institution.



    The decision to suspend Vick is the direct result of his conduct during the Gator Bowl on Monday, during which he stomped on the leg of Louisville defensive end Elvis Dumervil while Dumervil was on the ground.



    Vick has until January 15 to declare his intent to enter the April draft.

            Yep, he's history.

            Fuck him.

            Marcus Vick told The Virginian-Pilot that he would enter the NFL draft on Friday, hours after he was dismissed from the Virginia Tech football team as a result of numerous legal transgressions and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Toyota Gator Bowl.

              ESPN is reporting that Vick plans to enter the NFL draft.

              Who would be stupid enough to draft him? I wouldn't want him on my team.

                Think a defensive end would want to take a shot at him?

                Hope he's as fast as advertised, he's a marked man already.

                  I see him being a 3rd-5th round pick. Defintly not a 1st-2nd like he would have been had he not pulled this and previous other stunts

                      I can't fathom ANYONE would draft him...

                      maybe the fucking raiders...

                            One last word on this...THIS is why I am a Tech fan...proud Hokie fan...winning is good but integrity is more important..hats off to Beamer and University president Steger

                            University President Charles Steger Statement on Marcus Vick

                            January 6, 2006

                            Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick has been permanently dismissed from the Hokie football program due to a cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play.

                            Virginia Tech had suspended Vick in 2004. The university provided one last opportunity for Vick to become a citizen of the university and re-admitted him in January 2005, with the proviso that any future problems would result in automatic dismissal from the team.

                            Head Football Coach Frank Beamer met with Vick and his mother this afternoon and informed the quarterback and his family of the University's decision. His recent actions are unfortunate and we wish him well in his future endeavors.

                            Said Coach Frank Beamer, "I'm very disappointed that this didn't have a better ending. We wanted what's best for this football team and Marcus. I certainly wish him the best."
