Vick Kicked Off of Va. Tech Football Team
- Thread starter chickenman
- Start date
What a waste of talent! Put him with Maurice Clarett, Ron Artest, Terrell Owens and all the other wastes of talent out there.
kudos to va tech for having the cojones to do it. :clap: :clap:
you think mike vick will ask for all his donated money back?

Am I reading this right?
WHY THE FAWK WAS HE PLAYING ON JAN. 1st? Lets let Vick play and then he cleats someones and then lets expel him. If he was on tight leash after his 1st incident last year, why was he let back on the team to play Jan. 1st 2005? Shouldn't the dec. 17th incident ended things right then and there? If they did suspend him from school, they NEVER should have let him play Jan. 1st.
What kind of lesson are they teaching players and students at V-Tech?
Seems shady too me. Don't applaud V-Tech.

Very good point, I thought the same thing when I saw the date of the incident.
I'm glad he's gone, this guy is an arrogant bastard, a bad character even when a freshman.
but to let him play in the Bowl game then can his ass is disingenuous at the least.
This is no feather in VT hat :cursin:
not following college fb too much i didnt catch what scott4usc caught, good one and good point. for them to keep him in the bowl game than can him is pretty funny. i guess they are gonna use the game incident to be final straw. kinda funny.
Since the driving incident occurred after fall final exams ended, it could be that the school was waiting until classes resumed after winter break to give him the "hook". The driving infraction occurred less than 3 weeks before the game and, if he is not yet convicted of these charges, would it have been fair or just to have pulled him from the team before the game? According to the General District Court of Hampton Virginia website , he was caught speeding (38/25) and driving on suspended or revoked license. The speeding charge appears as "prepayable" but isn't payed. The hearing date is scheduled for January 17 at 8:30 a.m., ironically, the first day of classes at VT after winter break.

I believe that the combination of the pending charges and the poor sportsmanship displayed on the field were what prompted the dismissal before classes even resume. I can't fault VT for utilizing the talent they've been paying for all year simply based on pending traffic charges.

Excellent point by Va Nurse.... Timing is everything...and the legal system is anything but efficient. (...and it's much "less" efficient when you have a high priced attorney and a university? or big brother? that backs you....)
LMAO!!! Add in Marcus Mexico to that list... :mj07:

I hope no NFL team takes a chance on this scumbag, let him mooch off his brother for the rest of his life, what a loser.
WHERE IS BIG BROTHER....... I'm a pretty big guy and I out weight and am stronger than my brother and I know if I pulled this I would have a beating of a lifetime on the way. What an idiot, love the media spinning the leg incident and down playing the suspended license. We all know he is a thug but Beamer couldn't afford to risk having his starting QB booted during the season, taking up scholorship money and making these types of choices. Go live in atlanta with your overrated brother and WATCH the playoffs.Just my 2 cents.

University President Charles W. Steger Statement on Marcus Vick
By Larry Hincker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blacksburg, Va., 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 readmitted 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." ##06011##
