BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Quarterback Marcus Vick has been suspended from Virginia Tech for the 2004 fall semester, the school announced Tuesday.
Vick, who was convicted in May of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and arrested last month on charges of reckless driving and marijuana possession, had earlier been suspended indefinitely from the Hokies' football team.
"If there is any more trouble, his Virginia Tech career is effectively ended," Tech President Charles Steger said.
Vick, 20, is the brother of Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick.
After the May conviction, Marcus Vick was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250. Authorities said he and two other players had given alcohol to 14- and 15-year-old girls.
"The university is doing the right thing in the name of discipline," Athletic Director Jim Weaver said.
"It is sending Marcus a strong message that we take seriously student athlete behavior. This action also gives Marcus a chance to right himself. Fundamentally, he's a good person and we want to see him succeed."
Vick must complete a drug addition and counseling program before being readmitted to the school.
