You do have a valid point.Fly4Fun;1368270 wrote:The one thing that ND/Te'o's people (whoever is to blame) did for sure screw up is the dissemination of this story from a PR perspective. It seems that they were having internal debates and sat on it. One of the most important things about information, is you want to control the manner and the initial "story" when it comes out.
By sitting on the information they lost the opportunity and that's why there is so much conjecture and different theories flying around at the moment.

And how does a guy who is supposedly as good as gold and of the highest character not make it a point to attend her funeral? The initial reports claimed the funeral was the date of the Michigan State game but how could someone of his alleged character not at least take a trip to pay his respects or visit with his girlfriend's family either before of after?
Swarbrick said he thought Te'o would step in front of the microphone sometime Thursday. Pass the popcorn.
