Marcus Vick suspended or gone?
A board post by an administrator at Tigernet contains the following statement from ACC Commissioner John Swofford:
I have had several conversations with Virginia Tech Athletics Director, Jim Weaver, regarding the Marcus Vick situation that occurred in the Toyota Gator Bowl. It is obvious to both of us that this incident was inappropriate and contrary to standards of sportsmanship set by both Virginia Tech and the Atlantic Coast Conference.We will continue our conversation with Virginia Tech as the process of addressing this issue is completed.
If you've been living under a rock since the Gator Bowl, Vick was seen after a play stomping the leg of Louisville defender Elvis Dumervil, who was still on the ground after tackling Vick. Vick has received criticism from all fronts for the actions.
His own quarterback coach, Kevin Rogers, criticized Vick after the game and said he considered pulling him. Vick said it was accidental and claimed he apologized to Dumervil after the game. Dumervil and Louisville coaches said that Vick didn't even talk to Dumervil after the game.
Virginia Tech Athletic Director Jim Weaver issued a statement on the incident Tuesday:
The unsportsmanlike conduct of quarterback Marcus Vick in yesterday's Gator Bowl game against Louisville is unacceptable behavior and contrary to the Hokies Respect Campaign.Such on-field action is not reflective of Virginia Tech football nor of the values we hold at Virginia Tech. I and my colleagues in central administration are embarrassed and this athletic administration will not condone such acts of unsportsmanlike conduct. We will review and assess this incident further and deal with it accordingly
Today's Richmond Times-Dispatch quotes unnamed Hokie sources as saying Vick will be suspended at least one game next season.
From the Times-Dispatch:
Tech coach Frank Beamer will meet with Vick and his mother Friday in the Tidewater area -- Vick is from Newport News --to explain two options and offer a third for Vick, the sources said.* He can renounce his final year of eligibility and turn pro, something Vick said he wouldn't do in an interview before the Gator Bowl. He would need to declare his intentions to turn pro by Jan. 15
* He can transfer to a Division I-AA school for the final year of his eligibility. He would be immediately eligible.
* He can accept a suspension -- likely only one game but maybe more -- at the start of next season with the understanding that one more on-field or off-field incident would result in dismissal from the team.
Two of the sources said Vick may even be required to sit out spring practice, though that hasn't been determined.
Governor-Elect Tim Kaine of Virginia, a fan of Virginia Tech, even commented on the incident:
I saw that and it just made my heart sink.
Steve Usecheck, a Big 12 official who was the referee for the game, said none of the officials saw the incident.
Usecheck:
We missed that, and I'm sorry we did. The TV, everybody saw it but us. I wish we had the opportunity to talk to [Vick] because that was complete [expletive]. You bet I would have thrown his ass out.[...]
I was really disappointed. We don't see football like that (in the Big 12). Those kids were just completely out of control. ... Louisville wasn't as bad. Virginia Tech was brutal.
Usecheck ejected Hokie cornerback Jimmy Williams in the first half for swinging at another official during a scuffle with a Louisville player. Virginia Tech was hit with five personal fouls in the first half alone.
Video of the Vick incident can be seen here.
1/7 Update: It has now been reported that Marcus Vick was arrested on December 17 prior to the team's trip to the Gator Bowl.

I should note further, though, that the video of the Jimmy Williams incident doesn't back Usecheck up. The video shows Williams spinning away from an official who immediately throws a flag, but doesn't show one punch or swing, let alone two.

The "options" Beamer is supposedly giving him really give him no choice. He won't transfer to I-AA and he won't go pro right now after this mess because of all his other baggage.
He'll stay at VT and get suspended for 1-3 games against cupcakes early in the season and then finish his college career as a Hokie.

As bad as it was for Vick to stomp, then stand on the opposing player's leg, let's not forget two other important points: he said it was an accident as well as saying he apologized to the player. As anyone can see who was watching the assault, Vick purposefully stood up, looked down at the leg, then stomped it & stood on it briefly, before stepping down. Therefore, he wasn't only lying that it was an accident, but as the player later said, Vick did not apologize.
So we have Vick committing the assault, then lying twice about the circumstances. To me, this is at least as serious as the action he took while the player was on the groung. Clearly he does not wish to take responsibility. However, it IS time that Virginia Tech officials DO take responsibility. Anything short of his expulsion from the Tech football program will be a great mistake.
I won't be wearing my Tech football jersey until a satisfactory outcome to this is announced.

A guy who seduces 14 year olds with alcohol, gets arrested with narcotics and has the on-field tact of a thug......VT should be so proud. Who cares who is brother is, get rid of him. If VT had any class at all he would have been long gone already. This is a college game, not play ground ball.

Tech is a low class team that has no business playing with the big boys. They are just a bunch of cocky hood thugs who think they are above it all. Tech fans make me sick. If they win all of the magnetic signs appear on their cars the next day, but loose?..you would never know who they were.
Class, Tech has none. Just a bunch of backroad rednecks trying to look like educated people.EPP said:

Marcus Vick is classless.
The VT program and the ACC have two options:1) Discipline Marcus immmediately and severely. This means more than suspending him in VT's first game against Kent State.
2) They can lower themselves to Marcus's level and give him the proverbial 'slap on the wrist' and welcome him back for game 2 against a TBD nobody.
This will show that the ACC hasn't learned from the Clemson-S.Caro debacle last year and is willing to suffer classless acts to keep their conference and program in the national eye.Craig said:

1. Marcus Vick should be allowed to keep his scholarship and finish his education if he is so inclined. He should NEVER wear a VT uniform again.
2. The whole thing of taunting and "me" football has gone totally out of control and must be reined in. Frank can recruit and coach up to the part about teaching control, self discipline and respect for opponents and school.

Unfortunately, these things do happen. Suspension is what is warranted here and not for just one game. Expulsion is kinda harsh, being that the job of any defensive lineman, is to try and kill the QB. So, Dumerville got a little bit back? He only stepped on his calf - I watched that clearly. He did not try and break his knee. He just wanted him to "feel his pain". I am sure that Dumerville doesn't mind dishin' it out. So, he got caught and now has to suffer some consequences in order to remain a leader. I would suggest he sticks it out, takes whatever punishment is meted out to him, and comes back with more determination and drive to help lead his team to a higher plateau. He is not ready for the NFL anyway. I would have loved to see one of our guys just "clock" Vince Young once. Even if it was a fifty-yard penalty! I think you have got to get mean in these games. They allow for penalties. If you want to take one - you can do almost anything that you want to out there. That is why they have such thick padding on underneath their uniforms. It is a brutal game. Young Vick got carried away in his emotion - and should not have to forfeit his college scholarship for an unfortunate incident that took place in the heat of battle!

Come on Tommie, we can't just have QBs retaliating against guys because they're getting hit. It is football, right? If he can't handle getting hit, like every other QB in the sport, then maybe he should play another position....or sport.
Thankfully, David Carr doesn't have this mentality or he'd be in jail.

This is almost an identical situation to the cheap shot Brad Butler of UVA took at BC's Mathias Kiwanuka earlier this year. He eventually was suspended for a game (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/10/AR2005101001541.html).
I think a game or two suspension is probably fair, but I wouldn't be upset with him being kicked off of the team, considering his previous off-field incidents. However, I'm not sure his previous off-field behavior should be a major factor. All football players get more aggressive on the field, it's part of the game. Of course, what Vick did is indefensible.
There seems to be an overall lack of discipline and an abundance of arrogance on this team. No wonder Tech can't win a big game. I don't think they have the character necessary to. Too many times this year, when a Tech player made a key play, the cameras would show them on the sideline posing and trying to get face time on t.v. I didn't see any Texas or USC players doing that last night. Did anyone see Young acting like an arrogant s.o.b. after his winning touchdown? In fact, I see more Tech players doing that than any other team.
Until the coaches instill some better discipline and character, my beloved Tech won't be able to reach that elite status that they are so close to.

Beamer has no backbone if Vick is not gone. He is a disgrace and insult to classy programs. VT thought it was a joke when VT gave the finger to the WVU fans, one of the classiest programs in the country. If Vick played for WVU, he would now be working at Walmart. VT will never win a championship with these kind of players. What if he had hurt UL players l;eg so that he could never play pro ball. Would VT or UL take responsibility. It is time true fans look to support a better team.

i've never been accused of taking it easy on my arch rivals, but about a three game suspension is about all that's warranted here. what he did was inexcusable, and frank's reaction, (i.e., lack thereof) is shameful. but both vick and beamer could publicly apologize and admit it was purposely done and most of the outrage would go away. he doesn't deserve to lose his scholarship over a stupid mistake made in the heat of the moment.

Apparently, Marcus Vick wrecked one of his mother's new vehicles on Mercury Blvd. in Hampton VA on the evening of Dec. 16 and fled the scene, blaming it on one of his friends. The following night, he was pulled in front of the Virginia Air and Space Museum going 48 in a 35 in yet another of his mother's cars. Both of these incidents occured on a suspended license.....It has not been released to the public yet. This should add fuel to the fire he's already in and kill the program's reputation if they allow him to stay on the team. He will be done.

You would think that after receiving so many second chances Marcus would realize that he might exhaust everyone's patience. Maurice Clarett knows where that road leads you.

Clarett only exhausted everyone's patience after he was of no use to anyone. Kind of like how K-State ripped Ell Roberson's scholarship AFTER the 2003 Fiesta Bowl even though Bill Snyder let him play despite the sexual assault charge the week of the game. Same with Vick. As long as Beamer thinks Vick can help the team, Vick will be given as many "chances" as he needs.
If cajoling a 14-year old (!) girl with alcohol, getting busted for reckless driving and possessing marijuana, and flipping off the West Virginia crowd aren't enough to get you thrown off the team, I don't think a leg stomp is going to do it.
The guy's a lying dirtbag and an embarassment to college football. Beamer's obviously a good enough coach to win with someone else: why throw his and his school's good reputation out the window just to keep Marcus Vick happy?
BTW, Va Tech opens with Kent State at home next year. A one-game suspension would be really courageous.

Mike Boone is right. If this were the first time Marcus was in trouble for doing something stupid, it would be easy to assess, apologize, punish and move on. Take Brad Butler, the UVA player who enacted the cheapshot on Mathias Kiwanuka. Butler got a 1 game suspension, which many people thought was too slight, even though everyone seemed to say that he had a very clean track record up until that point.
Marcus was already on thin ice.
I feel no particular sorrow for, nor need to help, someone who ignores the warnings, goes out on the thin ice and then starts stomping around until he falls in.

I think they should just pull Vick's scholarship and see how he responds. He can either man-up, begin taking responsibility for his actions, and start paying back the school for what he has done to its image... or he can slink away to a 1-AA program willing to give him a free ride and see how much of his garbage they will tolerate there.
Does anybody really think a 1 game (Kent St, home) 2 game (So. Miss, home) or even 3 game (Cincy, home) suspension is going to change this kid's behavior while he's a Hokie? The pocketbook is a powerful motivational tool, because there is a personal investment at stake.

Marcus Vick has once again focused negative attention on himself and the "institute" he attends. Anything negative that comes out of this situation is deserved. The national media, after giving him a pass and slurpin on him for much of the season, finally begins to see the big picture. Is the apocalypse coming??? I never thought I would see the day when ESPN wasn't drooling over a Vick brother.
Marcus is overrated, Mike is overrated, and VPI is overrated......period. Frank Beamer has spend years building the VT program into a respectable program, which was apparently built with thugs. It will be interesting to see how Marcus Vick's future turns out. He had the nation eating out of his hand, even after the Miami loss. Now he has been characterized as a thug and it's nobody's fault but his own.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid Michael Vick's feelings may be considered in any discipline metted out. After all, I believe he has contributed rather large sums of $ to the athletic department.
gaffbag, considering older Vick's financial status, I don't believe there can realistically be a significant financial punishment to Marcus.
(A minor note, little Vick's bird display against WVU fans, while ill advised, wasn't that big of a deal. Do you know how many times I've seen Tech opponents flip off the crowd, even Mountaineers, and no one was throwing pennies at the opposing team?)

Portis, a couple of quetsions...If VT is overrated, what does that say about WVU and the a@@ whooping Tech gave them in Morgantown this year?
As for Michael Vick, speaking of overrated, do you know the last time I saw one of WVU's most heralded past QB's, Major Harris? I played flag football against him a few years ago in Charleston.

vtBobb - you may be right about the financial situation, but if I had to go begging to my older brother for cash because I screwed up and was soiling the family name I know I'd have a lot of thinking and explaining to do before I showed up. I mean, what Marcus is doing can't exactly be helping Michael's value as an endorser.
Then again, Ron Mexico may not really care about this...I don't know. But whether they're giving younger women alcohol or giving older women herpes, those Vick men certainly have a way with the women.

OK, if it's true about Vick's prebowl arrest, he should be gone! My understanding was that according to the deal he made with the university when he was reinstated, any additional off the field trouble would result in his expulsion.
Driving on a suspended license doesn't seem like a big deal, but it was suspended for a reason, and he broke the law, again. As for the other accident, he probably got away with one, but it probably can't be proven either. It seems rather suspicious that his pre-bowl arrest wasn't posted until after the bowl game. Pretty convenient, ain't it?

I have to laugh when the VA Tech AD talks about VA Tech values. Here was a guy saying or otherwise indicating that Tech would stay in the Big East.
It is all about money. The QB coach could have told Beamer and recommend that Vick be pulled for at least one or two series.

VTBobb: Your VT BS can only go so far dude. The whole country knows that the current buzzsaw would totally CRUSH Tech. White and Slaton played very late in that game. Get real man. All you people do is talk BS like Miami. By the way we had a great time at the Sugar Bowl. This year was odd. I went to many games and did not have any problems. Fans from both sides had a good time. The question I was asked this year most was about WVU's reputation. (they did not see it) All the other fans thought we were great. I told them all the negative things that ESPN says is because VPI pays them to say. You guys have more money than I thought. I even got a couple of Georgia fans to start a VPI sucks chant before the game !!!! The Major Harris comment does not bother us. He is a crack head. Nehlen tried to get him to stay his senior year because he thought he needed to. Harris decided that he was not going to, and the rest is history. Who gives a crap. 28-22-1

vtBobb, let's not go through this again. You beat a team of untested freshman in Morgantown at the beginning of October, CONGRATS! That loss is behind us, as is the entire series with Tech. We will continue to grow and mature as a football program, and the rest of the country can watch. Much like the rest of the country can watch VT have lofty preseason rankings..........only to lose 2 out of 3 at the end of the season. The argument is over, no more fighting.
Besides, it's hard to hear what your saying from up in the top of the rankings.............Go Eers!

I defend WVU and their fans. I've never had a problem in Morgantown, even in Hokie colors in the student section. But if you want to read some WVU BS, read some of the predictions you Mountaineer faithful wrote prior to the VT-WVU game. Kind of like the one you just made.
The fact is I was rooting for WVU against Georgia, I loved the outcome. But to be honest, your "buzzsaw" was dull by the second half. Great first half, though.

THE SUCKER'S GONE!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF VT
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."

Im shocked at all this. Linebackers play with one thing in mind. Pure evil intense aggression! Lets check out how many times a QB get attacked , this is the nature of the game, like Hockey fights occure in sports some we veiw as (cheap)shots. Defensive players have so many tricks. One dirty trick , spinning while the runner is down, or a QB getting hit from the blind side helmet to helmet , thats really low but the player accepts the outcome returnning to play. Now we must understand that some poeple need help at critical times in there life. The action and the words we all should be saying with consistancy is "HELP". This is a situation which will all should feel or, speak louder than any approuch. It will represent that Virginia Tech, cares. Yes they (VT) want you to to play sports but they also offer conventional help for its athlets in need of critical help (anger managment problems). THIS YOUNGMAN IS UNDER HIGH INTENSE PRESSURE . I seen it before, his mind is only reacting with aggression. He is just acting out his pain .If he do not get help, life will be hard for him. He deserves help from tech not rejection HELP HIM WIN AT LIFE AS HE HELPED VIRGINIA TECH WIN AT FOOTBALL... So I think Virginia Tech will show courageous responsibility by inrolling him into anger managment Program. one game suspesion

Marcus Vick in my opinion is one of the poorest display's of sportsmanship I have witnessed in recent years. As of 7:10 p.m. Jan 9 2006 he was charged in Suffolk, VA with brandishing a firearm on 3 people at a McD's for Christ sake. Does he ever learn? He does not deserve a chance at the NFL. The NFL already has enough problems to deal with. Put his ass to work in the real world and let him see how much he screwed up.

Somebody posted above that there were no problems with WVU fans (least class in the whole country, throw batteries, beer bottles on little kids and old people as well as the opposing team) at the Sugar Bowl. Is this what you were talking about (see link)? And WVU one of the classiest programs? VT has Marcus Vick. WVU has most recently had Pac-Man Jones and Chris Henry, two often in trouble with the law. And since 2000, have had players arrested for felony gun charges, drug trafficking, credit card fraud, and armed robbery of a grocery store. Good call though.

I say we should never mention this MORONS name again on the FANBLOGS BLOG anyway, as long as we keep talking about him he'll still be remembered!I plain and simply don't see why we should still be making him a subject to talk about because he most definitely amounts to nothing more than a huge pile of GHETTO trash and doesn't deserve the publicity good or bad! Hell... T.O is a SAINT compared to this DOUCHEBAG!!!!!!!!

ok thats a low cheap shot , Marcus will not resond like that. But, for what it is worlth Virginia Tech is and always will be at the top in all sports and one negitve act . Cant and will not stop our our reputation, WINNING IS OUR GAME, understand this ....... just not so long ago Notre Dame elected to play north carolina in the bluebonnet bowl, which record was 6-5, choosing to play them over Virginia Tech , which was 9-2 with the number one defense in the nation secound in rushing offense . Check the history ...oh no but we dont ask for no help we earn all respect keep on looking by blacksburg. YES, this did not start with the VIcks it started long ago with steve casey cirus lawrence the rob browns , the stallions the first triple threat running, ashley lee, tony paige the roots in blacksburg runs vary deep you cant deny it . Coach hite curries it all in every breath , Eddie been there as long as the football been in existance our old root is ikmplanted in the new the football program is on no secret mission to be the best , im sorry TECH fans had to let them all know!!!!!!!!!!

This is bull Michael vick is very nice last year before the probowl he said Donovan McNabb is faster than him does that seem cockey? I think not. Marcus Vick apolagized for what he did and he should be given at least one more chance. Especially for everyone making a big deal! Mike Vick rocks and is not overrated!

If any of these idiots knew what was said on the field or what goes on underneath the piles, they would really feel sick. Did dude something stupid, but lets not over blow this. I've seen guys spit in other guys faces....grab and squeeze another mans genitals...even try and crush the air out of another mans lungs on purpose and break his ribs. Dude should do a one game suspension and call it a day.
