Tom Zbikowski will keep his NDfootball scholarship and eligibility. So we shoudl see him in the spring game and this fall.

Anybody know how much he'll get for the fight?

[Lefty Noob]

According to an NCAA spokeswoman, Zbikowski will be able to fight under their bylaws as long as he doesn’t take endorsements.

Welcome to the insanity that is the NCAA. Zbikowski can make money as a boxer and keep his eligibilty, while that kid Bloom from Colorado loses his for making just enough money via endorsements to buy his ski gear so he can compete IN THE OLYMPICS!

Something just ain't right about that...

in the March Article I read, it said his opponent is someone named "To B. Determined"

Is that anything like Abby Normal? (gratuitous Young Frankenstein reference)

He already did a few weeks ago, and it was right around here, in Wheeling West Virginia. Not sure who it was he fought but I remember that he cleaned the guy's clock pretty good. Morrison boxing again brings up a whole new set of issues for me, what with the amount of bleeding typical boxers do. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

I guess if there's a guy willing to get into the ring with him, it's his business, not mine.
