Re: NCAA meltdown thread
If Texas Instruments buys Ranjidikishar Khan a sweet new Hyundai, and the NCAA finds out about it, does he lose his eligibility to research superconductors? I think this hits it on the head. Grad students in a lot of fields can get stipends from outside, and it does not make them ineligible. Also, ...

Apparently she could have been tried after she regained her sanity, but Waitkus declined to press charges.
It sounds like she made it the rest of her life without shooting anyone, so this was probably a case where temporary insanity really was responsible.
