The only way that Notre Dame committed any sort of fraud is if they created the story or somehow perpetuated it after finding out it was untrue. (And the fact that they knew on 12/26 and didn't say anything isn't evidence of any deception - anyone who thinks UConn or any other school would have come racing out to the press on December 26th is delusional.)

And if the kid made all of this up...it's beyond weird and the press should feel awful for not fact-checking a blessed thing, but beyond that, who cares?

You are correct. I do not think Teo did this without the knowing help of paid employees of the sports information department (at least them). If I'm wrong, and there actually is a person on earth that stupid, then I I'm wrong. But there are so many discrepancies already to me it looks like fraud done to get him the Heisman.

If I admit I'm the one person on this earth who is actually that stupid, will you admit for the first time in your life that you're wrong?

Come on.

Take the tin foil off of your head.

The story is so flimsy that it falls apart with a simple Google search - there is zero chance Notre Dame concocted this sucker to win an award.

We'll see. Because the media will be checking.

I think it's more likely he enlisted his friend to help perpetuate the myth that he had a steady girlfriend (supply you own reason). I haven't re-read the deadspin story but this narrative was out there for a while. Maybe too many people in his life asked to meet her/talk to her etc., so he and his friend decided to kill her off and reap whatever sympathies were out there. After all, grandparents dying is a pretty standard fact of life for kids in their 20's (often earlier), but double down with a dead girlfriend and his stoic response of going out there and playing = ND legend. Very cynical, but there you go. I hope this kid spills the beans since he's being thrown under the bus.

You've been reading to much HFD biz. His conspiracy nonsense has worn off on you.

Sure sounds like his friend created this fake girl and T'eo was in on it early if not from the start. I don't know why Swarbrick and ND are doubling down on the story that he was duped all along. My guess is ND found out it was all BS a while ago and enjoyed all the wonderful press T'eo and the University were getting so they just rolled with it. This is going to be very bad for the young man and ND.

I'm a life long Niners fan who has lived in Reno for years. I'm at the epicenter of Kaepernick mania.

If you really believe the Notre Dame SID is behind this, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell to you.

The twitter feed of @justinrmegahan is doing some solid Te'o sleuthing. Appears to back his story

Things are still way too squirrelly...

I find it hard to believe Te'o is this stupid. It is a personal matter so ND isn't in the position to volunteer Te'o's admissions to them that he found out that she never existed. People are lying now and they are stupid for doing so because it is going to be exposed one way or another.

Maybe someone knows this, but how did Te'o find out that his fake girlfriend passed away?
