Te'o Scandal

What appears to be one of the wackiest college football scandals in the history of NCAA Manti Te'o has admitted it. His supposed girlfriend that died in September 6 hours after his grandmother died, is a hoax. How could something like this happen? I believe that Manti was actually part of the scandal to raise his heisman stock value. There is no possible way that he couldn't have known unless he was totally stupid. How can you call someone a real girlfriend if you've never met them? The only communication Lennay Kekua and Manti Te'o had was over the phone and texting. It just seems very fishy that Te'o actually thought he had something going with someone he has never met. This is very unrealistic if Manti was actually trolled. Shortly after this report went public, a former Arizona Cardinals FB spoke about it. He said that he actually met Manti's girlfriend at a party. This just twisted the story a lot more.
