Do it on your own dime

I was totally on this kid's side, agreeing that he should be able to play as much Texas Hold'em as he wants, until I read this (near the bottom of the article):

Mr. Sandberg said that he failed a midterm exam this fall because of his commitment to poker, and that he ranked in the bottom fifth of his class.

But, he says, "I'm not too concerned with what my G.P.A. is. You don't have to hand your résumé to the casino when you walk in or anything."

Wow, that's definitely something to do on your own dime, and not while you're wasting either your parents' money (or, giving you the benefit of the doubt, a scholarship) at Princeton.
