BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Virginia Tech is fielding hundreds of requests for permission to produce T-shirts, hats and other items in memory of the 32 students and faculty members slain in last month's campus massacre.
University officials are wary of memorial merchandise after unauthorized products showed up for sale soon after the April 16 shootings.
"There was a real explosion of unlicensed and frankly inappropriate material on eBay and some other Web sites," said Christopher Clough, the school's director of marketing and strategic communications. The sites quickly removed them.
