So, this is happening:
The dead girlfriend of Manti Te'o never actually existed.
Having lived through the Ms. Scribe Saga, both in real-time as my friends were getting accused of vile things and security at Nimbus was being discussed, and when the true story was told on Bad Penny, I can actually believe that he was the victim of an elaborate hoax, perhaps by a well-meaning friend who then got over his head.
I can also believe he was in on it the whole time.
More evidence is needed. Text messages on Manti's phone, for instance. A confession from Tuiasosopo.
Where's our favorite Plucky Girl Detective when we need her, eh?
