Where the money went is a pretty important factor IMO. If Te'o was in on it....fuck him. He should get charged with fraud.

I've posted a possible scenario several times throughout this thread. My hope that he's just a chump who was getting shit for having an online girlfriend and lied about meeting her to save face. That's forgivable. It makes him look like a little bitch. But its at least forgivable.Commander of Awesome;1367692 wrote:I would very much like to hear your other possibilities. What are you ideas?

I am more after if a gay player would be tolerated in the NFL.Commander of Awesome;1367695 wrote:So you cover up being gay and rob people of their hard earned money, prayers (whatever that's good for) and sympathy?

I am not buying any of this story...I think he was in on it
It makes you look like a little bitch to hope that is the best possible scenario for Te'o. Regardless, Te'o is a little bitch.sherm03;1367702 wrote:I've posted a possible scenario several times throughout this thread.

But if it turns out he was in on it the whole time...then fuck him.

killer_ewok;1367691 wrote:So now it was a hoax that the entire, team, staff, university, family and friends were all in on? And NO ONE spilled the beans for all this time? Talk about unfathomable. I would think there would have been grumblings had that many people been involved. Somebody would have slipped up. I think your "scenario" is pretty outlandish.
Sorry, but you guys sound so incredibly pathetic. Just to stick up for a school's football team.killer_ewok;1367697 wrote:So dozens, maybe hundreds of others were aware of it and not bound to keep the secret as opposed to being in on it and sworn to secrecy? This makes your scenario even less likely IMO.
He wasn't openly gay. In fact, has he ever come out? Pretty easy to tolerate what you don't know.Commander of Awesome;1367707 wrote:They tolerated Kordell Stewart....
...Reagan Mauia, an Arizona Cardinals fullback, said he believes Kekua existed because he met her in person when he and other Polynesian teammates and Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu went to do charity work in American Samoa in June 2011.
"This was before her and Manti," Mauia said Wednesday evening. "I don't think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was -- I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa."
Mauia said Tuiasosopo -- whom Mauia believes is Kekua's cousin -- introduced the two. After the initial meeting, Mauia said he met her at an "after-party" for all of the athletes involved in the camp.
"She was tall," he said. "Volleyball-type of physique. She was athletic, tall, beautiful. Long hair. Polynesian. She looked like a model ... "
He said it is his understanding that Kekua's mother is operating her Twitter account. He said he'd never met her mother. When told by a reporter that she apparently might not have existed, Mauia said "No, she is real."
Yet no record of her at Stanford or her death? But Te'o admits he was fooled.LJ;1367714 wrote:...
So we shouldn't post until the answers have been revealed but the wild "the whole university and everybody else that ever met Te'o was in on it" theories are okay to post now? Yeah, that makes complete sense. And perhaps you missed the parts where I said "fuck him" if he was in on it. Blindly defending him, or the team....which frankly doesn't need to be defended in this case, isn't what I'm doing here.SportsAndLady;1367712 wrote:Sorry, but you guys sound so incredibly pathetic.

You sound like the OSU idiots who were screaming people were retarded for thinking Tressel could do any wrong.
