RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia Tech officials said they would review and deal with Marcus Vick's apparent stomp on the leg of a Louisville player just before halftime of the Toyota Gator Bowl.
Athletic director Jim Weaver said Tuesday that the school was embarrassed by Vick's behavior, calling his step on the left calf of NCAA sacks leader Elvis Dumervil after a tackle "unacceptable" and "not reflective of Virginia Tech football nor of the values we hold at Virginia Tech."
He said in a statement that the administration "will not condone such acts of unsportsmanlike conduct. We will review and assess this incident further and deal with it accordingly."
Weaver told The Associated Press that he had no timetable on any possible action.
A message left at the phone number listed for Vick in Virginia Tech's online student directory was not immediately returned.
Vick stepped on Dumervil's calf after the defensive end tackled the Hokies' junior quarterback. After the play, Vick seemed to pause before walking across Dumervil's leg.
He was not penalized on the play, but was rebuked at halftime by quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers, who said he even considered pulling Vick from the lineup.
Vick said later it was "an accidental play, and football is football." He also said he had apologized to Dumervil. Dumervil said no apology had been offered.
"A no-character individual," Dumervil said after the game.
Vick threw two touchdown passes and led a 22-point, fourth-quarter rally for the No. 12 Hokies, who beat the No. 15 Cardinals 35-24.
Coach Frank Beamer said after the game that he did not see the play and couldn't comment on any possibly disciplinary action against Vick until he had a chance to review it. Beamer and Rogers did not immediately return phone messages left at their offices Tuesday.
Rogers, who has mentored Vick in his on-field and off-field behavior, was livid with his quarterback, chewing him out at halftime, and after the game.
"There's no reason for that in the game," Rogers said. "It's flat-out embarrassing. I don't coach that way, and I don't expect him to play that way."
The incident is the latest trouble for Vick since he elected to follow his brother, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, to Virginia Tech. The elder Vick led the Hokies to the 1999 national championship game and was the first pick of the 2001 draft.
Marcus Vick played in 11 games as a backup in his freshman year, then was suspended from school last season after he was arrested, along with teammates Mike Imoh and Brenden Hill, for giving alcohol to 14- and 15-year-old girls. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge.
The younger Vick also later pleaded guilty to reckless driving and no contest to marijuana possession after a police stop in July 2004.
In Vick's absence, the Hokies won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in their first year in the league, then lost 16-13 to No. 3 Auburn in the Sugar Bowl.
This season, Vick was jeered by fans at road games, and drew attention by making an obscene gesture to fans at West Virginia.
Marcus Vick needs to grow the fuck up. stepping on someones calf after they just tackled you is not football. its a good thing his brothers rich or he could end up as a never was.
little tidbit about young Marcus Vick - first car he ever owned was a cadilac escalade

I really hate VT so I have never liked Marcus Vick, but after watching him step on #58 I swore I would never speak kindly about him, as a matter of fact I hope he doesn't make it in the NFL.
You start out motorcycling with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
Some people are like slinkies; they're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
what an asshole move!! I just saw it for the first time yesterday, I seriously cant believe he did that! Im so glad he got kicked off the team, now Im sure some NFL team will pick him up and he'll be a fraud of a QB like his brother. and he better not try that shit in the NFL, of course Im sure he'll get his warning when he picks himself up after a REAL defensive line tackles or sacks his ass
his draft stock keeps going down. i read a few mock drafts having him as a 1st rounder. now i see him as maybe a 5th or 6th rounder because teams are gonna be worried about his attitude. Marcus Vick could probably care less, he's already rich.

He'll go to Dallas as well as T.O. and when T.O acts like a fool, Vick can just stomp him
I went to VA Tech and I'm a huge VT fan. That's why I'm so glad to see his punk ass gone! I was embarrassed by the play
of Vick and a few others this season.
Ban his ass from the NFL for 2 years and keep him expelled from the NCAA play. I played ball in school and that shit just isn't done!
