The story of Manti Te'o and this fake girlfriend is one that is going to captivate the public attention for at least a few days as all the sordid details are uncovered.
What the media is leading us to believe for now is that the star linebacker and Heisman trophy finalist was in a fake relationship for the better part of a year. The "girlfriend" that died at the beginning of the season never actually existed.
There has been a lot of speculation about whether he was in on it or not; that maybe he was a part of an elaborate ruse to garner free publicity for his Heisman campaign. So far those thoughts are just pure speculation.
The things we do know for now are pretty much spelled out by AD Jack Swarbrick during this press conference:
A lot of things he declined to comment on preferring to leave them to Manti. I've read somewhere that he is going to speak sometime on Thursday, but I couldn't find anything to confirm that.
Rest assured that this is going to be one story that I'll be doing my best to follow and bring to you as soon as I know anything.
Here is a link to a copy of the transcripts of the press conference.
