Clue #2: Multiple sources close to Towson University report that the concern about finances that TU cited when they withdrew their RFP is a cover. The University had the money, and the BDC reportedly has the financial commitment papers to prove it. Can anyone confirm this?

Having seen the RFP proposals, I will note that it seems to me unlikely that anyone would put so much work into such a stunningly impressive proposal without knowing that the funds are available.
