I'm surprised he hammered him for details as much as he did.
Me too. Obviously I can't hear the way he asked those questions, but the way they read, sounded very blunt

I explained it earlier.
Some $40,000/yr Asst. Marketing Director in ND's Athletic Dept. wouldn't have been privy to the hoax. He sees the indiegogo account and think's it'll be a good idea. Video crew is sent out without the knowledge of the AD.
Up until 3:45pm yesterday, only the top of the ND Athletic Department would have known.

He wasn't duped for four years. That's a lie he told in October. He was duped a few months before the season

Also known as a cover-up.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Not once but twice after he supposedly discovered his online girlfriend of three years never even existed, Notre Dame All-American linebacker Manti Te'o perpetuated the heartbreaking story about her death.
An Associated Press review of news coverage found that the Heisman Trophy runner-up talked about his doomed love in a Web interview on Dec. 8 and again in a newspaper interview published Dec. 11. He and the university said Wednesday that he learned on Dec. 6 that it was all a hoax, that not only wasn't she dead, she wasn't real.
quote:
Relying on information provided by Te'o's family members, the South Bend Tribune reported in October that Te'o and Kekua first met, in person, in 2009, and that the two had also gotten together in Hawaii, where Te'o grew up.
Te'o never mentioned a face-to-face meeting with Kekua in public comments reviewed by the AP. And an AP review of media reports about Te'o since Sept. 13 turned up no instance in which he directly confirmed or denied those stories — until Wednesday.
Among the outstanding questions Thursday: Why didn't Te'o ever clarify the nature of his relationship as the story took on a life of its own?
Te'o's agent, Tom Condon, said the athlete had no plans to make any public statements Thursday in Bradenton, Fla., where he has been training with other NFL hopefuls at the IMG Academy.
Notre Dame said Te'o found out that Kekau was not a real person through a phone call he received at an awards ceremony in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 6. He told Notre Dame coaches about the situation on Dec. 26.
The AP's media review turned up two instances during that gap when the football star mentioned Kekua in public.
Te'o was in New York for the Heisman presentation on Dec. 8 and, during an interview before the ceremony that ran on the WSBT.com, the website for a South Bend TV station, Te'o said: "I mean, I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer. So I've really tried to go to children's hospitals and see, you know, children."
In a story that ran in the Daily Press of Newport News, Va., on Dec. 11, Te'o recounted why he played a few days after he found out Kekau died in September, and the day she was supposedly buried.
"She made me promise, when it happened, that I would stay and play," he said.

I don't buy that. Colin fricking Cowherd knew about it Monday and he's a radio host/TV personality and was told this over a bowl of soup.
If the students on campus knew, the athletic department knew

Maybe this should be a lesson to the media stories should be from what athletes do on the field.

How the Hell does a grown arse man have a girlfriend he's never met?
Forget about all the other inconsistencies. How the Hell does a grown arse man have a girlfriend he's never met?
And twice this girlfriend was at death's door, once in coma and the other time dying. And not once did he go see her? This girlfriend who was the love of his life?

No instead college football forces us to sit through these horseshite human interest stories that drag on for the first 20 minutes of game coverage.
