Beamer is a joke. He's already trying to avoid suspending him for the USC game, even though he has already been sentenced to 30 days in jail. Sure, wait for the "appeal," how convenient.
With 2 drug/alcohol arrests in the offseason, that probably equates to two quarters against Western Michigan (the 2nd game).

Just curious: Does anyone know if the other big conferences have the same interconference transfer rule as the Big Ten? John Kerr is having to pay his own way to play for the Bucks. Would Vick, if he transferred to UM or FSU?

Not sure, but it's not like he'd have trouble paying his own way. |

That's largely symbolic -- Vick isn't enrolled in the current session of summer school
|
That's from the article. Funny stuff. . . It does say, however, that he is missing the first 3 games for his prior problem, and that he probably won't play in the first half the year (ooooooooh). |

Vick may be eyeing the I-AA school

Ga. Southern aide: Vick may be eyeing the I-AA school
Marcus Vick.
By KYLE TUCKER, The Virginian-Pilot
© July 28, 2004
GREENSBORO — While coach Frank Beamer remains cryptic when talking about Marcus Vick’s future with Virginia Tech, the troubled Hokies quarterback may have started looking for a new home.
According to Georgia Southern assistant athletic director Tom McClellan, Eagles head coach Mike Sewak has had contact with parties close to Vick about a possible transfer.
“Mike said he has had preliminary talks with 'Marcus’ people,’ ” McClellan said. “I don’t know what 'people’ means, but he has not talked with Marcus himself.”
Vick is suspended indefinitely from the Virginia Tech football team after a May conviction for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, followed by a recent arrest for speeding and possession of marijuana.
Talking with reporters at ACC Football Kickoff on Monday, Beamer repeatedly refused to answer questions about Vick.
“The only thing I’ll say about Marcus here is he’s suspended indefinitely and his exact future is undetermined. That’s it,” Beamer said.
Pressed by another reporter, he responded, “His future will be determined in the future.”
Georgia Southern is a traditional I-AA power with six national championships, including back-to-back titles in 1999 and 2000. The school is in Statesboro, Ga., 209 miles from Atlanta, where Marcus’ brother Michael plays for the NFL Falcons.
If Vick transferred to Georgia Southern, or any I-AA school, he would not have to sit out a year before returning to the field.
There is a Virginia Tech connection at Georgia Southern. Last month, the Eagles hired former Hokies running back Ken Oxendine as wide receivers coach.
Oxendine earned a masters degree at Tech last year and spent two years as an assistant strength and condition coach in Blacksburg. But he said he hasn’t talked to Vick and doesn’t expect him to be heading south.
“I knew Marcus, but everything I’ve heard, he’s staying,” Oxendine said. “I haven’t made contact with him. The one person I had spoken with said that Marcus wanted to stay where he’s at and clear up his name. He wants to be what he was supposed to become.”
Tuesday, Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring said he also was unaware of any transfer talks.
“I haven’t heard anything along those lines,” Stinespring said.
Neither Beamer nor Vick could be reached for comment Tuesday.
Georgia Southern opens practice on Aug. 5, and Oxendine noted that the Eagles have senior quarterback Chaz Williams returning. Williams is a preseason first-team All-Southern Conference pick.
“Even if Marcus would come, you’d have a hard time dealing with him when you’ve had a guy that’s been in the system three years,” Oxendine said.
There’s also the matter of Vick’s pending legal troubles. He has yet to appear in court for his latest arrest, and if his appeal of the earlier conviction is unsuccessful, Vick still has 30 days of jail time to serve.
