Maybe not if you believe I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.

Why would she not stay in Hawaii with his family? Why would her parents not ask to meet their son's girlfriend while she was in Hawaii? It just doesnt add up.

Now I could see his family lying for him to protect him, but seems very very odd. I do not know if we will ever know the full truth, because ND and Te'o are doing everything they can do salvage whatever image they can.

Te'o actually being duped, catfish'd whatever? Or him bullshitting everyone?

My money is on covering up for liking dudes.

As I said...I am hoping he's just a chump here. But I'm not saying that he didn't try to bullshit everyone. Just saying that its possible that he got catfished.

I'm just trying to say that there is the possibility that he's just a chump...but people want to act like there is no way that could be the case.

Because only an idiot would believe Teo had nothing to do with this. I mean COME THE FUCK ON?!

sherm03

You guys are right. He is the mastermind behind this and there is absolutely no other explanation possible. Any one who considers that there are other possibilities is dumb, or delusional, or retarded. Nothing else should even be considered.

Something else that makes this complete bullshit.

No skype. No facetime. What college aged kids, or people separated by distances do not use this?

He's covering up for his fellow gays.

I agree. About time you came to reality.

I think there are a few possibilities, but what you are saying doesnt make sense. "Dad, my girlfriend is coming to Hawaii to visit." "You better book her hotel, son. She isnt staying here." "Dad, can I invite my girlfriend over for dinner." "No son. I do not have any intentions of meeting your girlfriend that you are in a serious relationship with."

If this is a big coverup for being gay, I will have lost even more respect for him as a person.

And if its not for being gay, just not as much respect?

Mastermind? No.

Aware of it (as were friends, family, teammates, the University) and did NOTHING as they benefited from all of the positive exposure? Yes.

The latter is what would piss people off and be a "fraud."

Faith," he told ESPN, "is believing in something that you most likely can't see, but you believe to be true."

I have to laugh that Te'o being gullible is looked at as a completely delusional possibility. But the idea that Te'o, his family, his friends, the coaches, the team, and the University were all in on this to bring exposure to the team is not seen as crazy.

Only on the OC...

Honest question....let's say this plays out that he is gay and this was some cover up. Can he play in the NFL? Will players tolerate it? Does it drop him completely out of the draft?

Azubuike24

There's a difference between being "in on it" and being "aware of it."

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.

I would very much like to hear your other possibilities. What are you ideas? Aliens? Blackmail from Tiernan? KGB involved in this?

So you cover up being gay and rob people of their hard earned money, prayers (whatever that's good for) and sympathy? He should at the very least be investigated by the police for fraud (donations in honor of his GF) .

So when he was dating her who the hell was he going out with? Or didn't he find it odd she "stood him up" 75 times?

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.
