Virginia Reckless Driving Leads to Marcus Vick's Dismissal
from College Football Team
Over a short period of
time, Marcus Vick's college football career comes to an end due to
Virginia Reckless Driving and other offenses
Virginia Polytechnical University (Virginia Tech) dismissed junior quarterback, Marcus Vick, on January 6th following his latest incident with Virginia reckless driving. Such behavior was cited by the university as "a cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play."
Since his enrollment in Virginia Tech in 2002, Vick has been found guilty of nine driving offenses, according to court records. Vick was cited December 17, 2005 for two misdemeanor charges of speeding in Virginia and driving in Virginia on a suspended or revoked license. Said incidents of Virginia driving offenses occurred in Hampton, Virginia.
Leading up to Vick's dismissal for Virginia driving offenses, Virginia Tech had suspended the athlete for the entire 2004 season for being charged with two separate criminal incidents.
Virginia Tech released the following statement concerning Marcus Vick's dismissal, due partly to Virginia reckless driving:
"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."
As a consequence of Vick's Virginia reckless driving convictions compounded with earlier criminal incidents, the athlete must enter the NFL prematurely, which was not a scenario which he had been prepared for.
"I need that second year" Vick told the Washington Post. "The NFL is tough. It's the real deal and you have to be ready for it. You don't want to rush into it and throw yourself out there because of the money. You have to really be prepared for it."
An unnamed NFL source commented that Vick's Virginia reckless driving, criminal incidents and off-field trouble would be a point of concern for teams interested in bringing him aboard. Although the young player's skill is obvious, cumulative Virginia reckless driving and other offenses speak volumes about the amount of risk a team will be forced to deal with.
From July 2002 until December 2005, Vick was stopped seven times for traffic offenses including five Virginia speeding offenses, and two citations for driving in Virginia on a suspended or revoked license.
Vick was arrested for speeding in Virginia and police found marijuana in his car. He pleaded guilty to Virginia reckless driving and no contest to possession of marijuana.
