devilsden Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 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?

MSU85 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Is not,, but hard to prove. As long as the parent pay with his check. And business doesn't care about the tax break. You know it happens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU85 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 But I'm not saying that Knox Catholic is doing it. I'm just saying it happens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsden Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFAfan Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wow! This is a very reckless topic. Why start a thread on something when you most likely have ZERO knowledge of the actual situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsden Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) How do you know if I have ZERO knowledge of the situation. Could have a child that has been contacted by a "parent/sponsor" for all you know. Edited October 18, 2016 by devilsden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFAfan Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Do you? Your original wording leads me to believe thats not the case. If you dont, then you have ZERO knowledge of the situation and are merely being a slanderous gossip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFAfan Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Too many misconceptions out there about the privates. Many privates do exactly what they should. Maybe a few recruit but i bet its not as many or what the private haters want to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsden Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 But the ones that don't do what they are supposed to do give all of the others a black mark. So, put them all in D2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
