Texas Tech has banned the sale of a T-shirt bearing the likeness of Michael Vick hanging the dog mascot of rival Texas A&M.

The red and black shirts feature text that says "VICK 'EM" on the front in an apparent reference to the Aggies' slogan "Gig 'em." It was created by a Tech student who was trying to sell them before Saturday's game in Lubbock.

The back of the shirt shows a football player wearing the Number 7 Vick jersey holding a rope with an image of the mascot Reveille at the end of a noose. Vick, who faces up to five years in prison after pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting charge, is suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

Tech school and athletic officials met this morning to discuss other possible action but did not immediately announce additional measures to be taken. A&M officials, in a statement, thanked Tech administrators for "their response and action regarding this matter."

The creator of the shirt, Geoffrey Candia, declined to comment in an e-mail to The Associated Press Tuesday.
