To answer each of the questions...

No, a sponsor should not be able to OWN a team, since a team is conncted to the school, and a school is a public institution. Private schools? - maybe.

The sponsor may decide to sponsor whoever it wishes. That's for the sponsor to decide... so I guess if a sponsor all of a sudden leaves a team hanging and goes off to sponsor another school, then it's ok since the sponsor is not obligated to anything (unless your team drafts contracts) permanent, though I would definitely not agree with the act and be in a state of "pissed" for a while.

I'd like to hear the story behind this too.
