From an administator perspective, it's hard to use tax dollars to provide services (housing, money, etc) to a HS talent. Called 'a gift of public funds', and pretty much illegal. Illegal as in not offered to the masses, but a small percentage of the students. Have purchased homes, but have utilized them as training places for both teachers, and meeting rooms for Cabinet/administrators (some schools, older, simply did not plan for teacher or staff training) venues. Could possibly be from a privately funded school, Catholic comes to mind, but could be expanded to 'other funding', not taking federal or state tax dollars. Remember that CAPE, from Cincinnati, made athletics paramount, and education (reading, writing, and arithmetic) secondary, and now IMG etc has found loopholes in their state laws.
