Well, there goes everything that points otherwise.
Who is the former teammate though. And is this taken out of context. Like everything.

I think they mean, wasn't really Manti's "girlfriend"
NOT
Manti did not know a girl named Kekua.

He did that to put it in Manti's lap. To paraphrase, he said Manti would have to "clarify or explain some things he couldn't answer". With Manti in FL. now things move way from ND.

Close to 100,000 votes on espn poll and the majority of people think Manti was in on the hoax.
15% He was the victim of a hoax
51% He was involved in the hoax
34% I'm waiting for more details

Nixon resigned,Clinton got impeached and we put a man on the moon. Other than that, it's been a quiet day.

You forgot:
Real life NFL player claims he and Troy Polamalu met the imaginary girl in person and described her physical appearance.

its already been spun in a negative direction I hope none of this effects anything on national signing day.
Seriously Troll!
ND is bound by FERPA. You and your National Enquirer Buddies aren't.
What does he have to be exonerated from? There you go with another McCarthism.
It's a basic tenet that a man is innocent until proven guilty not the other way around.
You keep saying you believe but keep demanding that Te'o and ND prove it to you.

Someone seems to really be throwing him under the bus for some reason, but why?
Is she alive or dead? I thought the girl with the FB picture was imaginary.
The campus stuff with a student talking to a reporter saying no one really thought the girlfriend was real, is damning. Notre Dame should be left out of it, if reporters want to know then they hold go to the source. Manti Te'o.

I don't give a **** about what anyone who doesn't put their name on it says.
This "former teammate" could be Aaron Lynch for all we know. Or just completely fabricated.

hopefully the truth is revealed by the parties involved, because the media is doing a terrible job. everything is "revealed" piecemeal. no context. everything is "sources". that could be anyone. based on the reputation of the media on this matter, it could be some random person claiming to an ND football player. how do they know? did they only communicate by email and phone? was it an in person interview?

Perhaps was/is jealous of the attention he gleaned? Perhaps he thinks he didn't get enough credit?
Perhaps he's just sick of the lie and being a part of it?
Who knows. They also said "former teammate."
That means the player was a Senior.

The FB pic is of another girl. The kid copied her pick and used it as Lennay.

His name is Reagan Maui’a and I just googled it and he says Troy didn't meet her and has nothing to do with this.

The Cardinal player came out and said Polamalu was brought into this for no reason. Troy knowing or seeing this girl before is false.

That standard applies to criminal law so we don't lock up innocent people. It has nothing to do with how we form opinions based on a "preponderance of the evidence." For example, most people believe Casey Anthony and OJ Simpson are murderers and Michael Jackson is a weirdo, not because they were proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt," but because the evidence seems to indicate that it's so.
I don't DEMAND that anyone prove it to ME.
I WANT them to prove it to EVERYONE.
I believe in Manti/ND. Shoot me, but I don't get a fuzzy feeling when other people hate on my University. If any additional investigation is going to prove that the haters are flat-out wrong on this one, I want that evidence to come out.

It'd be dumb to dismiss it just because you disagree or don't like what was said. You could be right, or you could be dead wrong. But don't dismiss it.
I think we could all agree that Manti wasn't the best of friends with teammates like you'd expect... we just never really put much thought into it.

But why contact him on Dec. 6 and try and pretend the girlfriend is alive?
