We too almost ran into that problem.

We come from a very well off town called Brookfield. By having students from other towns both from other schools and home schooled student, sponsors have been more willing to donate to us. With out these students, many businesses would assume we have enough money since were from Brookfield.

We explained this to the school and said if they want to kick those students off then the school should give us the money that we would be losing.

To this day, and they always have, we get 0$ from the school. Dont know if this helps for your situation. But lesson is: Tell them how these students benefit the team
