bwfcfan5 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Always happy to be corrected if I’m wrong! What’s the proportion of student fees v other income? The government funding they receive is used for research and cannot be used for this. Whatever they are paying comes out of their surplus and that will be from student fees. They are after all regarded as a private institution (as are all Universities) formally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever they are paying comes out of their surplus and that will be from student fees. They are after all regarded as a private institution (as are all Universities) formally. Are not student fees initially public funded in the first place? Ok students (in theory) should repay them from their earnings but I think most analysis is that over half of the student loan total will be written off after the 30 year period. So if the tax payer has made the initial payment and the students don't manage to repay their loans over the period they were due - and the money is written off - then who is left out of pocket other than the public purse?

Some are, some aren't. But that is getting beyond the point. Universities aren't directly publically funded to operate. They are given research income and other structural grants but money from government is accounted for and reported against specific research or enterprise schemes. They aren't publically funded in the sense that they are given a block grant to cover their running costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Go on then. Should the university be spending money, whether student fees or public, on sponsorship of a football club? One presumes there will have been a cost/benefit analysis after the shirt sponsorship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we are in the top 44 clubs, whereas they are not in the top 100 universities, so we are lifting their status! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One presumes there will have been a cost/benefit analysis after the shirt sponsorship? Up to them. Should anyone bother spending their money on sponsoring a football stadium? They will see it as a way to raise their profile and attract more students. Which is behind virtually every decision smaller Universities make. They want more students. I've no idea if this is a good idea for them but presumably will help their profile out. They only need 100 new UK students and it is almost an extra £1M in annual income for the Uni.

frank_spencer Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 How on earth does Bolton uni being stadium sponsor equate to selling our soul. Jesus christ there's some knobbers out there.

No doubt suggested 'The new Burnden' or the 'Lofthouse Stadium' as alternatives but yesterday complained we had signed no fucker as we had no money thanks to Ken...

I think it was a younger person to be honest, with the Anti Modern Football thing going on. I'm as AMF as the next bloke on a lot of things, but this isn't one of them. In fact the local Uni getting involved is probably a bit Anti-AMF, isn't it?! The name isn't catchy, it doesn't slip off the tongue, I'm sure we all wish it had a traditional, old school name. But it could have been much, much worse. Edited August 1, 2018 by Marc505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomski Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 It does sound stupid but as did the macron or the reebok really. Can't say I'm that bothered. I'm expecting the headline 'Bolton got taught a lesson' a lot next year ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
