Virginia Tech has had enough of Marcus Vick. The last straw was his stomping on the leg of Louisville's Elvis Dumervil during the Gator Bowl.
Here are his transgressions:
Sept. 2, 2003: Suspended for one game for undisclosed reason.
Feb. 17, 2004: Arrested and charged with four misdemeanors -- three for allegedly allowing underage girls to have alcohol and one for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old at a January party.
May 14, 2004: Convicted of three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250. Found not guilty of having sex with the 15-year-old.
July 3, 2004: Charged with reckless driving and possession of marijuana after a traffic stop about 25 miles east of Richmond, Va. at 2:30 a.m. Police said he was clocked at 86 mph, 21 mph above the speed limit, and that the vehicle smelled of marijuana.
July 6, 2004: Indefinitely suspended from football team.
Aug. 3, 2004: Suspended from the university for the 2004 season on same day he pleads guilty to reckless driving and no contest to marijuana possession in New Kent, Va. Is fined $300, has driver's license suspended for 60 days and give up his driver's license for six months.
Jan. 17, 2005: Cleared to rejoin football team and re-enroll at Virginia Tech.
Oct. 1, 2005: Makes obscene gesture to fans who have been calling him a rapist.
Dec. 17, 2005: Pulled over by police in Hampton, Va. for driving 38 mph in a 25 mph zone and driving with a suspended license. This incident was not disclosed until today.
Virginia Tech said it allowed Vick back into school this year with the warning that if he screwed up again he'd be out. Unfortunately it seems like they made an exception after the driving incident so he could play in the Gator Bowl.
Making matters worse for him, he said that stomping on Dumervil's leg was an accident, and that he apologized to Dumervil after the game. Kate studied the tape and said "he definitely did that on purpose." Dumervil said there was no apology.
Vick doesn't seemed perturbed about this. "It's not a big deal. I'll just move on to the next level, baby." Asked if that meant he would enter the NFL draft, he said, "Yeah, definitely."
