Notre Dame issues statement on Te'o deadspin report

On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

Didn't Musburger mention Te'o's girlfriend at some point during the BCSNCG? Wouldn't ND have given them a heads up?

So are they saying he had some long-distance online relationship with some hairy perv posing as a college girl?

He ain't no victim. He was in on it for the publicity.
He got his publicity and even more with his dud of a game against Bama

ETA: I'm going to need to see phone records, receipts for roses, and information as to why he told people he met her at Stanford and in Hawaii.

Full statement in the OP.

I thought her brother called Te'o to tell him the news 
Posted on 1/16/13 at 4:22 pm to KosmoCramer
so someone would have had to call Teo nightly, pretending to be Lenay, if we are supposed to believe manti is innocent.
is manti really that dumb or was he in on it?
