Who knows if they will let him keep the money, that doesn't matter. This guy will definitely earn it back when he gets to the pros anyway, he is a hell of a fighter and has a lot of heart. I can't wait 'til football season... Zibby is such a beast.
The NCAA said he was allowed to keep the money...I dont see why the hell he is allowed to and Tate wasnt for his hole in one, or Bloom wasnt allowed to for his skiing. :glare:
