Deadspin is saying Te'o's girlfriend's death was a hoax created for publicity

Skype hasn't found its way to the ND campus!
The whole story is preposterous, as was the ridiculous press conference and all the Te'o family quotes. The dumbing down of America continues!
They did send flowers. They explained in the press conference how elaborite the hoax was to even have somewhere to send flowers.
They'll try to use it to their advantage. I knew it wouldn't be long before they were blaming the loss on this. Te'o could have had 10 REAL girlfriends and we would have still hammered them. Whatever makes them feel better I guess.
Is that show Big Love with Bill Paxton still on the air? I see a cameo in Teo's future!
Oh, gimme a break. When any little thing goes wrong at Bama, the whole rest of the CFB world revels in schadenfreude. Don't lecture us when this perfect team with this perfect linebacker proves to have had clay feet. And they're covering up worse than this...
This. Despite the knee jerk reactions we're all having (trust me, I've posted/made my share or jokes about this) I just don't believe that anyone started all of this as a Heisman publicity effort. Someone with sense would've cut that off in a hurry. I think was done in an effort to squash the "Dude why don't you have a gf" questions among friends and team mates. I mean, seriously, prior to the 2012 season who was paying attention to him or the ND program? I know they're ND and all....but they were as off the radar as ND gets for the most part. Then all of a sudden ND is 4-0 and he has turned into the face of the school.
The school, unaware at that time of any of this, starts a publicity push. I can see where a young would feel trapped. He doesn't want to let anyone down and is probably an otherwise upstanding young man. Yes, he, his family, and ND need to just own up at this point. It's not going away until they do.
I know some on here dont believe any of the story and others want to always jump to throw people under the bus if they are in another program. But i can tell you for a fact, that there are some sick people in this world and they will do anything in the sake of fun, entertainment, etc. There are lots of holes in the story, but anyone who does not believe stuff like this does not go on every day is living in a fantasy world. 25 years ago, those of you who are old enough could never have even imagined what would one day be available at the simple click of a button. Some are still naive themselves to what is out in the cyber world. People lie, cheat, steal, murder,rape, etc. everyday in real life so just imagine what goes on in a make believe world of the internet. Nothing is off the table and not available if you want to find it.
No, that's not what he said. He said ND didn't send flowers, but the Te'o family did. That's when he mentioned that they had an address to send the flowers to. This, of course, is based on what the Te'o family told him (and possibly in the report by the unnamed private investigation firm whose results will not be released).
It's cool BiB, America's a big country, and there's room for lots of opinions. I have to do my thing though, which is to bring the human element back into the conversation. Don't forget that he's a kid. If he's a Machiavellian sociopath, it will come out, and he'll lose a lot of money and maybe his whole livelihood depending on how far this goes. If he's a goofy dumb kid who thought this was funny, well, hopefully this will media brown note will teach him a hard lesson. Either way, I don't think it's good for the spirit to delight in what's happening today. That's where I'm coming from.
