 The sponser is the only one who can really do anything about it...and they really do have a lot of options at their disposal.  If notified early enough they can put a stop payment on the check. As long as the check hasn't cleared the bank, a stop payment can be made without any problems.  
Either way thier bank should be willing to work with them to recover the funds.

 Because its called fraud and is quite illegal and carries with it a relatively unpleasant jail term.

 They are big name sponsors who will allow money to be stolen out of your pocket.  You show much more loyalty to them than they do you.
