Um, come on now

2. He's gay and wanted to use her as his beard. This doesn't explain the death + milking
3. He's a sociopath who masterminded this scheme to gain national attention

Personally I'm having a hard time conceiving of a scenario where he's not sociopathic.

The thing I am most sad about is that the single most trusting poster I've ever met, will never be able to trust in the same way again in his life. That's an incredible tragedy.

Do you think ND considers itself done with all of this after that presser? I'd like to hear them answer questions about collaborating on stories about this fake girl after they knew she didn't exist.

Guarantee you the first endorsement contract he signs is from some online identity verification site. They will make him the face of online identity verification

I think this is the most fascinating sports story in years. Literally years. It's not the most important story or the biggest, but it is unfathomably interesting. There are angles to every side. There's not a single explanation that makes sense. We even have random NFL players claiming to have met a girl who it is 99.999999% agreed has never existed. Every single turn makes it better. Fascinating like nothing I can ever remember. FOAT.

Here's the whole Holtzman thing if it hasn't been posted yet:

Quote:

"I talked to a former Notre Dame teammate of Te'o's today, who told me that most players always thought that this wasn't really Te'o's girlfriend," Holtzman reported. "And that they always suspected that this didn't really add up with the story. (The teammate) also told me that Te'o loved the attention and that even though the story may not have been what it seemed to be, that he was more than happy to play along with it." Holtzman's report would seem to support the notion that Te'o was complicit at least with the furtherance of the deceased-girlfriend story.

Now THIS is how you catfish a college athlete:

Quote:

Here's a prank that definitely rates as one of the more inventive (and cruel) student pranks of recent years. The set-up occurred a week before a NCAA game pitting UC Berkeley against the University of Southern California. USC's starting guard, Gabe Pruitt (pictured), met a UCLA coed named Victoria online. They traded messages via AOL Instant Messenger. She sent him her picture. He sent her his. They arranged to meet after the game on March 4.

The sinker occurred during the March 4th game. When Pruitt appeared on the court, UC fans started to chant "VIC-TOR-IA, VIC-TOR-IA." Their chants continued throughout the game, escalating to include the recitation of Pruitt's phone number. Transcripts of Pruitt's IM chats with "Victoria" were also circulated throughout the crowd (including classic lines such as "You look like you have a very fit body... Now I want to c u so bad"). Pruitt was visibly shocked, missed a bunch of free throws, and ended up 3-for-13 from the field.

It turned out that "Victoria" didn't exist. She was the fictional creation of a couple of UC fans. Pruitt had been punk'd. Understandably, some USC fans aren't too happy about the prank. (So are they plotting revenge?) (via Deadspin and Schneier on Security)

I can't get enough of this story. I'm far from the saturation point. And as someone pointed out, nobody got hurt, nobody's dead, nobody's injured. It's all upside.

Probably felt compelled to mention his GF passing away from cancer since it would seem weird if he didn't.

If you watch that interview, he claims to have visited children's hospitals (in Houston i guess?), but visiting his sick/dying gf is too much to ask.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think donations to leukemia-related non-profits were made in "her" name. Haven't heard of a charity or 3rd-party collection setup.

He isn't a ND student anymore. He's graduated. His representation is professional now. Anything from here on out from ND will be about what ND knew and did or didn't do.

via NBC Chicago:

Quote:

A Notre Dame official says Te'o is in Florida at the IMG combine camp, a renowned operation at the Nick Bollatteri tennis camp in Bradenton that tries to prepare college players for life in the NFL--handling finances and the media. [LOL!]

The official says Te'o has hired Tom Condon of CAA as his agent. As such, he has turned professional and Notre Dame will no longer assist him with such things as media relations. That is up to Condon now, the official says.

CAA is super big time, so anything from Te'o in public will be sculpted with scalpels.

The timeline offered by Notre Dame indicated that, while at the college football awards show in Orlando on Dec. 6, Te'o was contacted again by the people who portrayed themselves as Lennay Kekua.

Te'o then waited 20 days to speak to Notre Dame coaches on the subject, with Swarbrick justifying the delay by saying Te'o wanted to return home to Hawaii and discuss the matter face-to-face with his parents.

It's important to note that Te'o's parents accompanied him from city to city during the awards, including Orlando and New York.
