But, there was a problem. The girlfriend never existed. Last week, a sports website, Deadspin, reported that the story was not true. When the website asked Notre Dame about it, university officials said the story was a “sophisticated hoax.”
In a statement, Te’o said he had met the woman through the Internet and continued the relationship online. He added that the whole incident had been painful and humiliating. Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick said Manti Te’o told the university about the problem on December 26th. He said a private investigation ordered by the university suggested that the player was a victim of a mean joke.
Now, Manti Te’o has admitted that he lied --- at least, in part. Te’o spoke to Katie Couric, a reporter for ABC News. He said he got a call from someone claiming to be Keuka on December 6th. So, Te’o said, he realized she was not dead. But he continued with that story publicly.
In other football news, the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers are busy preparing for the Super Bowl. They will play for the championship of professional football Sunday, February 3rd.
The game should be very memorable. Jim Harbaugh is head coach of the 49ers, while his brother John is head coach for the Ravens. Their father Jack, a former coach, says he is giving his sons the same advice he gives to others in football: “Get ahead, stay ahead.”
