Ike Whitaker can’t get a break. Just last Wednesday, the Virginia Tech wide receiver was suspended indefinitely from the team for missing a wide receivers meeting.
Now he’s facing more troubles. Whitaker was arrested Friday for public swearing and intoxication charges. The crimes are not new to the troubled athlete, who was arrested on exactly the same charges in 2006, though the case was dismissed.
With these string of problems, it’s no surprise Whitaker isn’t so happy. The Collegiate Times spoke with the footballer after the suspension:
The red-shirt junior from Germantown, Md, told the Collegiate Times in an interview last Thursday would be considering his options after his most recent suspension. Whitaker expressed frustration after Beamer's decision.
"I shouldn't have missed the meeting but I shouldn't have been suspended from the team because there's a number of people that miss meetings all the time," Whitaker said. "I have some decisions I have to make about what I want to do about schools, if I want to stay or here or if I want to transfer."
Add the new intoxication and public swearing charges to the suspension and things aren’t looking good for the athlete. Don’t be surprised if the Whitaker ends up saying a big **** you to Virginia Tech and hitting the road.

Stumble It
