What, exactly, do you expect him to say? "Uh, whoops!"??

It's like a "my girlfriend, back in Canada" tale gone far, far too far.

What a douche!!!
How could the University let this story keep going?

I hate Notre Dame as much as the next guy, but I don't think you can pin this on the University. Maybe some blame should be put on their newspaper, but not much else.
If this is true, this Te'o's fault exclusively.

I mean... I don't even know what to think. Can this actually be true? Could he have really made this whole thing up, and none of the other so called journalist who did stories on it couldn't figure it out? Holy crap.

It's not very long.
The Cliff's Notes version would be, uh, the headline.

That's what true journalism is supposed to look like. There is actually background information and facts to backup what they are writing about.
But to put it simply, the ND linebacker made up a story about how his girlfriend died. She wasn't his girlfriend, she didn't die, she didn't even exist. The pictures used are from somebody else's FB account.

You're right, I can't wait until this breaks on ND forums. The fallout will be epic, they view him like we do Tim.

Te'o is definitely the main culprit, but the school must have known it wasn't true and they kept going along with the story because it was good press for them.

My wife used to work with a guy that would tell stories about his life in Cuba and the death of his wife and kids, over coming childhood disease, etc. He got all kinds of sympathy from his co-workers. Then one day my wife ran into his mother, and mentioned how hard her son had it, and the mother was shocked. "He never lived in Cuba, he was never married, he had no childhood illness ... ". It seems like some people are compulsive liars and sympathy junkies. It's a mental disorder. Maybe Te'o has a reasonable explanation for all this, but I doubt it.

If this is true, he needs to be a 1st round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders. Fit right in.

He probably should of stuck with his childhood favorite team, USC. It seems he and Kiffen are two peas in a pod.
