Who knew that Michael Vick could cause issues at a school he didn't even attend?
An entrepreneurial student at Texas Tech was using the latest Vick dog fighting scandal to cheer on his football team. T-shirts saying "Vick 'Em" on the front and a picture of a #7-wearing football player on the back with a dog in a noose were being sold on Tech's Lubbock campus this week. The dog is meant to represent Reveille, the mascot of the Texas A&M Aggies who Tech plays this weekend.
Tech officials have shut down the operation, although 300 of the shirts were sold. No word on if students wearing the shirts will be allowed in the stadium.
When asked about the shirts, the student had said that he was going to donate half of the proceeds to charity "because we knew there would be a controversy about the shirts, you know, animal rights, stuff like that."
Stay classy, Texas Tech.
