Virginia Tech to come under microscope again
Problably the worst thing could have happened to Virginia Tech today. An informant Told ESPN that Michael Vick has been involved in dog fighting before he entered in the National Footall League. The informant went on to reveal information that could do damage to ESPN.
The problem is that the informant told ESPN that Vick was a heavy better. He went on to tell that at a fight in 2000 Vick bet 5,000 dollars, and the problem is that Vick was attending Virginia Tech at the time.
In college it is illegal for a collegiate athlete to receive money as a gift, and also to earn money. So, where the helll did Vick get five thousand dollars. Also, where did he get the itial money to buy and raise pittbulls.
The only conclusion is that a booster gave Vick the money. Then in turn Vick must have taken the money to fund his pittbull breeding.
The problem could be very serious for Viginia Tech. The end result for VA tech could be the loss fo scholarships, and not being able to appear in bowl games for a period of time. However, the more serious problem would be the further tarnishing of thier reputation.
It is very saddening to see this possibly happen. The people at the school will probably have old wounds torn open. It is just a sad thing to see. However, the giving of money by boosters is a common thing in college, and unfortunately the school has it coming to them.
