If it turns out Teo isn't the victim of a hoax and I must admit it seems very unlikely - how would you fake being someone's GF? - then this story will get even bigger legs.Regardless, I know Notre Dame was in a tough spot but they and Teo blew this one totally. The right thing was to go public IMMEDIATELY when they found it about it on Dec. 16th.I know it was before the game but you can't let the myth stay out there and let CBS run stories on the girl.

"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."
The weird thing is when this story happened, I thought it was weird I could find very little info on the GF online.
