Va Tech Administration Has Problems Handling Tough Situations

Reebok has stopped selling Michael Vick jerseys. Nike has suspended its contract with Vick. NFLShop.com has stopped selling everything from jerseys to Vick bobble heads. Still you can find as many Michael Vick jerseys that you want in Blacksburg, Virginia.


In this article from the Roanoke times the author is arguing that the dog fighting and Va Tech should not be linked which is absolutely ridiculous. The athletic department is not addressing the topic but they were more than happy to address the topic of Vick on the cover of Madden in the past. This is really absurd. If Peyton Manning, the player everyone associates the University of Tennessee with, did something bad in the eyes of the public you can be sure that Phillip Fulmer would not be cowardly enough as to not address the issue. If Matt Leinart or Carson Palmer got into trouble while riding in a car with Chris Henry and it became public knowledge it would be guaranteed that Pete Carroll would speak to the media about it. This is another example of the Va Tech Athletic Department, and more to the point - Frank Beamer, not living in reality. There is a reason that you team is ranked the number one thug program all time per S. Judge and the title is well deserved.

Here are a couple of sites you can also buy Vick items:
