Serves him right..

Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was dismissed from the team Friday, the result of numerous legal transgressions and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Gator Bowl.

University president Charles Steger announced the dismissal on the same day that coach Frank Beamer met with Vick and his mother in their Hampton Roads home, the school said. Beamer informed them of the decision during the meeting.


Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, was suspended from school in 2004 for several legal problems. The junior came under new and intense scrutiny this week after replays showed he stomped on the left calf of Louisville All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil during the Jan. 2 bowl.

No penalty was called on the play and Vick claimed its was accidental. He further hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, but the Louisville player said no such apology was ever offered.

On Friday, it was revealed that Vick had been stopped for speeding and driving with a revoked or suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17. Vick's license had been taken away last year when he was cited for reckless driving and marijuana possession in New Kent County.

Steger suspended Vick from school at that time, and warned that any additional problems would effectively end his time as a member of the Hokies' football team.

"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," Steger said Friday.

Beamer said in a statement that he was disappointed with the outcome.

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

School officials said in a statement that there would be no further comment until a news conference on Saturday. Beamer, Steger and athletic director Jim Weaver, who said the stomping embarrassed the university, were all expected to attend.

You can take the boy out of the ghetto...

Big props to Va Tech!

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

Yup. But, I think they already knew he was going to enter the draft, so it really wasn't much of a bold move. But, good nonetheless.

But you can't take the ghetto out of the boy.

[Kelshara]

Would have been stupid of him to enter the draft this year if he wasn't kicked out. He wont go nowhere near top 3.

[Raistin]

Unless big brother Vick has his team pick him up. I dont see this thug going in the first 4 rounds. I can only hope he will be shot in a drive by before the draft tho.

[Kilmoll the Sexy]

If a team drafts Vick with his issues and ignores the fact that Jeff George could be signed for less money and get a better passer, then thhat team deserves whatever sub-.500 record it ends up with.

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

Who cares when he goes? What's the minimum in the NFL now? $200k a year? Not bad for a thug piece of shit. Stay in college and make no money or be in the NFl and make $200k a year, hmmm tough choice.

[Sueven]

Well, yeah, but if he had stayed in school and behaved well he would have been a first round pick and that's worth millions. If making the decision was as easy as paycheck > no paycheck then Maurice Clarett would be a happy man right now.

I'm looking forward to seeing what team drafts him so I can learn which team I need to hate. I just hope it's not a franchise that I like.
