Reporters' Notebooks

Clifton Brown and John Eligon, New York Times: Notre Dame safety Tommy Zbikowski will make his pro boxing debut Saturday night at Madison Square Garden (registration).

Dan Collins, Winston-Salem Journal: Wake Forest receiver Demir Boldin, the brother former Florida State and current Arizona Cardinal receiver Anquan Boldin, and cornerback Brandon Ghee were declared academically ineligible for the 2006 season.

Paul Finebaum, Mobile Press-Register: It only seems like yesterday that Tennessee's Phillip Fulmer was the safest coach in the land.

Ray Melick, Birmingham News: It's nice to see coaches squirm over the new rule that allows players who have graduated before their eligibility runs out to transfer to another team without penalty.
