Was all a lie
Notre Dame's statement via Facebook
Notre Dame has since released a statement on the matter:
"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 statement from Dennis Brown, assistant vice president at Notre Dame, read. "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."

Hoax my eye. It was a publicity ploy that is blowing up in his face.

The strangest story I've read in a while. Girlfriend he never actually met in person?

Awful! Another lousy day to be a Notre Dame fan. This scandal may at least partially explain why he stunk it up on the field Miami. It appears the Te'o story was too good to be true!

Hey, he had to have SOMETHING to get him attention for the big game. His tackling sure didn't do it for him.

This isn't a hoax. It's a conspiracy to commit fraud by Teo, his family and Notre Dame. Talk about a fall from grace.
