I think most people, in their zeal to kick Marcus Vick while he's down, are overlooking an important aspect to this story. What is Virginia Tech's responsibility here?
They allowed him to play in the bowl game even after his latest run-in with the law. Apparently they could live with that. But he kicks some guy in the heat of competition and suddenly he's crossed the line and is thrown off the team?
Sorry, I'm not buying it. They let Marcus play in the bowl game because they needed him to win. Now that the season's over, they're seizing upon this minor on-the-field incident as an excuse to ditch him since they don't need him anymore.
