He was definitely in on it. The university had an "internal investigation" in early November, and I bet they wouldn't have said anything if it didn't go public. Honestly, that school has issues.At first, I felt bad for him and thought he must be a little naive to go that overboard for someone he never actually met.
After reading the comments, interviews and timelines, I decided he had to be in on it. I wonder if this was not an elaborate cover for sexual persuasion...? At best, a ploy for a sympathy Heisman.
In any event, I pity this guy if he gets drafted to the NFL. He will have hell to pay in the locker room.
New Rivals article up on him. He's rated as the #1 linebacker in the country and the #7 player overall.
He's the cousin of former Vol J.T. Mapu, and says the Vols are a school of interest.
Te'o would definitely be a nice pick-up. Anyone know much about him?
I'm pretty sure it's because the school went with it too. Could be wrong though.An issue that I keep thinking about--and which I haven't seen addressed much is why the press just took his word for it and never really investigated the existence of this girl. No attempts to locate the obit or anything else until way too late. I'm usually not a conspiracy theorist but I wonder if her non-existence was known but no one wanted to "out" it as ND was having such a great yewar and ND was finally relevant again...
