"Our faculty


are very concerned about the reputation of Virginia Tech's players and Virginia Tech's team," said Estroff, referring to past off-the-field problems for Virginia Tech's football team, which in 1995 and 1996 included 26 players arrested on charges ranging from rape and kidnapping to petty theft and battery. "We are not accustomed to that kind of behavior. You have to remember, (North Carolina Chancellor James) Moeser tried to hire their coach and one of the arguments against him was the record of his players. ...

"Part of our concern all along has been the way that sports and athletes fit into the university. There is very little tolerance on our campus for misdeeds and misbehavior by athletes. I'm not saying we're any better, but I do know what happens around here when somebody gets into trouble."
