Conclusion ----------
1. Option (c) was decided, which means keeping the footer links, but raise their price (to be decided) to a new tier. Always having nofollow always. This results in footer links being removed from the top tier until a new tier is decided.
2. Option (a) was decided, This increase in our sponsorship levels, from 0.5k 2k, 5k 10k to 0.5k 2k 10k 20k.
3. Option (d) was decided, but this option for most people was a combination of b. plus a charge extra for follow links, within guidelines. There's no way to specify nofollow links on or off technically speaking, so I'm going to change the website to "b without the front page link" with the understanding that if a sponsor wants to have a follow link they can ask for a price to be decided at a later date.
I'll update the website now.
