The ACC School Mount Rushmores: Virginia Tech FINAL
This was a tough one to finalize. On the one hand, Michael Vick was an outstanding player–and an outstanding athlete. On the other hand, has any player brought more negative attention to himself, criminally, short of murdering someone? On yet one other hand, however, Michael Vick did his time, as they say. And nobody has ever suffered a more severe punishment for animal abuse issues. And then you have to factor in an absence of a true candidate for the fourth spot. There are some decent athletes, but nobody with much real oomph. So… despite his issues, the Confidential has to pick Michael Vick for the fourth spot.
