Looks like ND will not be going bowling for a few years. NCAA will be on this very soon.. This thread is about to get like the BlueTuna Cam one.

More problems for Te'o and Notre Dame:

quote:
Dan Tudesco, a 2006 graduate who now works in public relations in New York, set up an online account at fundraising website indiegogo.com on Jan. 9 to solicit $5,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc. The initial pitch said donations would go to the society in memory of Lennay Kekua, who reportedly died last fall, and in honor of Te'o, "two individuals who have been an inspiration to us through an iconic season."

Notre Dame took notice of Tudesco's tweets about the fund drive and sent a university videographer to shoot an interview with him. The video was posted on the Notre Dame athletics YouTube channel Tuesday.

So this was AFTER the BCSNCG when ND and Te'o clearly knew the story was fake and they let this fundraising go on and even videoed the guy and posted it? Knowing the death was a hoax?

This is why I think ND didn't even know about this whole thing until very recently. No way they are THAT stupid.

Deadspin: Manti Te'o Dead Girlfriend Story a Hoax (Te'o interview scrapped) Stuff like this makes me thing Teo was duped: From ND DC Bob Damico: I was basically with him when he got the call about his girlfriend. He was distraught, as you would imagine Read More: LINK So many people would have to be in on this hoax with Teo for him to not have been tricked in some way.


He was acting. Teo is a chronic liar. If you've ever met one this story doesn't at all seem crazy. Coincidentally the other chronic liar I've known we from Hawaii.

Never says he met her.

Ok, I guess

Back to my original question

quote:

SI: How did you meet her?
TE'O: We met just, ummmm, just she knew my cousin. And kind of saw me there so. Just kind of regular.



Where did she see him?

They've certainly got some pretty bad egg on their face, PR-wise, but I'm not sure how you can get to the point of finding that this is some sort of NCAA issue with them.

I'm still leaning that he didn't know at first, was catfished,


For 4 years??

And he certainly lied about meeting her after the Stanford game and in Hawaii.

He also was adamant about not having SI attempt to contact her family. Dude is a liar, plain and simple.

"Her breathing increased when I was on the phone with her!" GTFO

I wonder if this has anything to do with Brian Kelly considering the Eagles job out of the blue.

Yeah...this is an important contradiction. The South Bend article says he met her at Stanford in 2009. While Te'o says here in the SI transcript that they met at a USC game through his cousin.

No. He wasn't "catfished/trolled" until October 2011.

Either he was in it from that point and needed the backstory or was embarrassed that some chick had taken a likening to him quickly so he made up a backstory.

I'm with you.

It is just embarrassing and bizarre for alot of people unless another shoe drops.

If that shoe has a dollar in it raised on behalf of the made up girlfriend, it becomes fraud and shite gets real.
