Texas college bans Vick t-shirt

Texas Tech has banned the sale of a T-shirt bearing the likeness of Falcons quarterback Michael Vick hanging the dog mascot of Texas A&M. The red and black shirts read "VICK 'EM" in an apparent reference to the Aggies' slogan "Gig 'em.” The back of the shirt shows a football player wearing the number seven Vick jersey holding a rope with an image of "Reveille" at the end of a noose. Vick faces up to five years in prison after pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges.
