Bruce Feldman @BFeldmanCBS I'm told Notre Dame will have an official comment on the Deadspin Manti Te'o story shortly.

Teo is pleading that he is the victim of a hoax.

"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.

ND just said he was a victim of a hoax. Ummm....how? What about him saying he met her at a game against Stanford? He played a role in this too.

Something smells fishy 'round here.

I call bull****. The guy behind the Twitter page (Tuiasosopo) knows Te'o personally. There's no way Te'o wasn't in on it. Total damage control here.
