    Marcus Morris' "twin brother" is also a hoax.

    Just read the whole thing.

    Basically claims that Teo and another classmate / friend created a false girlfriend who almost died in a car accident, then passed away from leukemia.

    The claim is pretty serious here. Teo has been lauded as this great religious inspirational figure.

    Seems like the guy was just trying to turn himself into the next Tebow.

    Stunning, sick, and sad.

    I hope the guy doesn't get drafted now.

    Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o

    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.

    So now Notre Dame is claiming that Te'o got "Catfished" and was lied to be his online girlfriend this whole time?

    What about the fact that they supposedly met in person after a Stanford game?

    Why does Notre Dame wait until this becomes public knowledge when they had this information over 3 weeks ago?

    WTF is going on?

    along with meeting her in person at stanford, didnt it also say the manti or his parents are on record saying she visited them in hawaii? how about all the phone calls he supposedly had? unreal

    notre dame looks just as bad as he does now. what a bunch of idiots

    EDIT: the only way i can see this being explained as he was duped is that he got so far into it, that he couldnt turn back. he had said too much and just ran with it.

    This is insane. Notre Dame's statement doesn't seem to hold up at all on the surface, assuming any of the reports of the two hanging out ever once came from Te'o's mouth.

    Can you imagine the storm if he HAD won the Heisman?

    Laughing out loud at all the ND fans who gave Manziel crap about his arrest last year.

    I thought I was going to come in here and see another Sandy Hook type of conspiracy. This is one of the most bizarre things I have ever read.
