I don't think the statement makes ND look stupid. It makes Te'o look stupid. The only question I have after reading the statement is how did Notre Dame say to handle the questions that were sure to come up at media day for the BCS title game?

But you're right about ND's knowledge and the fact they never said anything until this came out.

I'm just trying to provide possible reasons why a star athlete at Notre Dame would rather be in an online relationship. Has anything I posted on the topic been that unreasonable that I should be considered delusional? Sorry that I'm not automatically damning him on this and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

sherm03;1367475 wrote:Nobody said she visited on senior day. That's pretty tough considering the "character" was dead 9 weeks before senior day.

Midstate01;1367482 wrote:I don't think it was senior day this year. I'm finding the quote. I saw it earlier.

Brian Te'o told multiple reporters that the family had never met Kekua; the Te'os were supposed to spend time with her when they visited South Bend, Ind., for Notre Dame's Senior Day on Nov. 17. The elder Te'o told the South Bend Tribune in October, "[W]e came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now."

That was the only mention of Senior Day that I saw.
