Loooooooooong story short, his "dead girlfriend" story is a lie. I'm disgusted.

Manti Te'o did lose his grandmother this past fall. Annette Santiago died on Sept. 11, 2012, at the age of 72, according to Social Security Administration records in Nexis. But there is no SSA record there of the death of Lennay Marie Kekua, that day or any other. Her passing, recounted so many times in the national media, produces no obituary or funeral announcement in Nexis, and no mention in the Stanford student newspaper.

Nor is there any report of a severe auto accident involving a Lennay Kekua. Background checks turn up nothing. The Stanford registrar's office has no record that a Lennay Kekua ever enrolled. There is no record of her birth in the news. Outside of a few Twitter and Instagram accounts, there's no online evidence that Lennay Kekua ever existed.

The photographs identified as Kekua—in online tributes and on TV news reports—are pictures from the social-media accounts of a 22-year-old California woman who is not named Lennay Kekua. She is not a Stanford graduate; she has not been in a severe car accident; and she does not have leukemia. And she has never met Manti Te'o.

That's because there was a spelling mistake on the birth certificate. It was Te'Obama

If true, this makes the lies Lance Armstrong told look petty.

His dead girlfriend story was a big lie.

After Te'o's bad showing in the MNC game and now this story I bet he falls completely out of the first round. He has lost millions in the past two weeks. This guys entire year (and career) was propped up by this story. Imagine if he had won the Heisman.

Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o

On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

University Spokesman | Assistant Vice President

So ND knew about this on Dec 26 but still let it be reported during the BCSNC lead up.

This is bizarre, to say the least.

Are you as shocked as I am that the catholic domers would be involved in a cover up?

You really have to wonder how he couldn't have known.

For him to claim victim at this point is pretty lame. If so, he must be a huge moron.
