With what you've posted, if I received that from Byrne, I'm reading it as, "We have what we need for the baseball purchase already." In other words, thanks, but if you send me your money, I'm going to spend it somewhere else.
When I make a specific request that it is spent in program A, and NOT on any other program, and he writes back that program A is funded, then what am I to do other than sit on it? He didn't give you any assurances that it <span style="text-decoration:underline">wouldn't</span> go to the football program? I don't understand this.
How hard is it to tell someone that you still need their money if they are offering it? Am I reading too much into this?
Shmuley - As an alternative, I solemnly SWEAR that if you send me a large amount of cash, NOT ONE PENNY will go to the MSU football program. PM me for contact and deposit details.
