Virginia Tech dump Vick

Virginia Tech has dumped quarterback Marcus Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick after Virginia's 35-24 win over Louisville on Monday in the Gator Bowl.

University president Charles Steger announced the dismissal of Vick from the Hokies football team for unsportsmanlike play after Vick was seen stomping on the leg of Elvis Dumervil while he was on the ground.

Vick was suspended in 2004 after being charged with reckless driving and marijuana possession. He was stopped for speeding and driving with a revoked or suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17.

Steger said in a statement, ``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,"

That problem arose this week after replays showed him stomping on Dumervil's calf.

Hokies coach Frank Beamer said, ``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."
