What were the dupers hoping to achieve? Get money out of him? Why not address that in the statement? Why not name them?

Because they don't exist.

First team Academic All-American falls for something to this degree.

The duper was a friend of his, making it all the less likely that it was done maliciously without his knowledge. What would the guy have to gain? Nothing. What did they have to gain if it was made up? Press, sympathy votes for Heisman. We live in a sick world, can't put that past a person.

". Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, who Deadspin alleged created the Kekua persona, was friends with Te'o. Deadspin suggests in its piece (citing tweets by Tuiasosopo) that Te'o and Tuiasosopo met and spent time together during Notre Dame's trip to play USC in early December."

You really wonder if the girl whos pic that is might have been involved. I know she said she had no clue but she is friends with the guy that did this and it would be very easy to do.

If a real chick was involved, then it is possible he was duped.

He is either an uber-naive geek or a sick fuck.

There is a real girl involved. The question is whether she knew what was going on or just provided the picture to be nice. If he was really duped then I think she was involved, if not then she's telling the truth and didn't know.

I'm willing to bet that she was involved and that somewhere in here they were getting money out of Teo or his family.

Turn over the phone records. If he was spending all this time on the phone as he says he must not have been in on it. If there are not hours and hours of phone records then he is in on it. If he was in fact talking on the phone with someone, who was it, I assume it wasn't Tuiasosopo, then what female was it that he was talking to?

All this facebook and twitter and instagram and crap is such an immense self promotional waste of time.

I just read the article in full :facepalm:

he is either not too smart and very naive or its a cover up and he is gay :shrug:

I dont buy this.. If he just wanted to pretend he had a long distance GF to get his buddies off his back about not getting laid then why all the production??? If that were the case he would keep it as low key as possible. Why fake a death and plaster it all over ESPN and SI.

This was a publicity stunt from the word go.

The gay thing just doesn't wash with me. If you are gay and wanting to keep a low profile you do not create a story that will become national news, even if that news will be sympathetic to you.

You do things to keep eyes OFF you. Dude was Mormon and went to a Catholic University. Just have some nice girl as a beard, and don't sleep with her. Meanwhile go around dicking guys all you want. THAT method has been tried and true for generations.

Plus if the guy is so paranoid about being gay, how would he have the courage to involve a family friend, or whoever this other guy is, in covering up.

This is definitely a brain fuck, no matter what the truth is.
