Reading the thread sibling responses, it seems plausible you could get around that? (I'm just a lay-person.)
I mean, you pay the University $XX for "misc facilities and support". That goes into the school's fund. Later, the Dean gives you a "completely unrelated and coincidental" Xmas bonus of $X. Also out of the school's fund. It's not grant money at that point. It's from a general discretionary fund that just happens to get deposits for services provided to grant based science.

So... money laundering basically I guess?
