Just from reading that article the big thing that stands out to me is that Notre Dame(and obviously virtually every other university) has their own police force, to me that is potentially a dangerous conflict of interest when at a massive football school like ND.

I'm confused...was the rape ever revealed to have actually happened? I keep seeing the words "accused" and "alleged". That's a valid question, but given that they NEVER investigated, at all, it's still scuzzy of 'em. So, doesn't the police start investigating at some point or does it work under WWE rules and everything gets sorted out by the school administration?

He lied in that he totally likes cancer. I laughed way more than I should have. I feel like a bad person

At this point, let's just hope this doesn't escalate into Te'o dressed in drag as "Lennay" and flying to Albania only to be thrown in prison. I'm sorry, but this is not getting no sold! ;D

Well, Manti got me to do at least one thing, which was watch Catfish. My summary: {Spoiler}Some Yoopers are f***ed up in the head.

@jacob_UK TMZ says Notre Dame has a gag order on anyone who speaks to media about Manti Te'o....or be fired I wouldn't be surprised if ND and T'eo concocted this moronic story in an attempt to win T'eo the Heisman with the sympathy vote. That's pretty much what my mind went to when this first came out. Te'o is a great player, but winning the Heisman tends to come on the heels of massive ad campaigns where schools talk up players excessively and expensively. I think this was all done so the media would begin to pay attention to him, and was a much cheaper way to go about it.

Based on all those contradictions, I'm forced to return to my earlier theory that she is, in fact, a ghost. Hes dating a Ghost?

I was starting to believe he was tricked after his ND teammates others came out to talk. Basically, they never thought of her as his girlfriend, since they never met as T'eo admitted, and he had actual campus girlfriends but went along with it since it was a good story. So I've come around but it still doesn't paint him in a good light either since he took what he thought was a real tragedy and use it for his own gain.

Seems to me he found out early on this was a hoax but kept it going for the publicity, once that did him no good he went to ND, played dumb and is changing his story to save face.

So we can rule out the gay theory now. Which means, very best case scenario, he really was Catfished but kept it going anyway after the story took off...and during the Heisman voting.

You know what really bugs me? We have the date for when he allegedly told ND what was going on, and yet leading up to the National Championship game in January ND and Te'o still allowed reporters to ask him about this girlfriend and the story.

This is why I think he knew early on or all along. He used the story to help in the awards run, lost it and thought it'd disappear, they got closer to the BCS and more media brought it up at which he went to ND and told them. They, to keep the story quiet, told him to play along until it was forgotten in the offseason. They got word of ESPN being on the story and started planning an out when Deadspin published their story.
