Va. Tech running back pleads no contest

In response to a misdemeanor charge stemming from a night of drinking with underage girls, Hokie tailback Mike Imoh avoided jail time by accepting a fine of $100 and 24 hours of community service. Imoh agreed to the same terms as quarterback Marcus Vick, younger brother of Atlanta Falcons' Michael Vick.

The players, as well as receiver Brenden Hill, were arrested following a party at Vick's apartment in which three 14 to 15-year-old girls were present. During the trial, one of the girls from the party testified that the players gave them vodka and asked them to strip off their clothes and kiss each other.

Because this was not Vick's first violation, he was suspended from Tech for the entire season whereas Imoh and Hill each received three-game suspensions.
