Congrats to deadspin on this excellent article.

Erm, that's because she was registered under her real name, Lennay Marie Wochinski. Lennay Marie Kekua was her professional name.[/QUOTE

Manti Te'o just Dennilfloss'ed the American media. I wonder how long he'll be banned?

Yea and there are a bunch of people speculating that the girl was made up to cover for him being gay. No proof at all just rampant speculation.

yeah, ive been checking out some sports forums after reading the article, and that seems to be the predominant running theory.

ND Statement:

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.
