Sponsors - tuition

Have heard this for a few years and just wanted to know if this is legal?  It has been rumored that Knox Catholic is getting business people to "sponsor" student-athletes so they can eliminate or reduce there tuition fees.  I wouldn't think this is legal since parents/guardian is not footing the bill.  However, the school is not giving financial aid, so is this legal under TSSAA rules?

So, you are saying Ted Russell car dealership (or any business willing to do so) can pay for student-athletes to go to school at Catholic or Webb or CAK or Grace or Maryville and that is legal, as long as they give the money to the parent and the parent writes the check to pay for tuition.

We just pay them to mow and water the football field through Irish Landscaping Co.

No it's not legal but hard to prove..
