Notre Dame is taking the Slim Charles approach: "If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight." ND has to support Manti, even if they know he's lying. That's how it works. You can't just cave in immediately without putting up a fight, even if you're defending a lie.

On Jan. 2, the day the football team and the athletic staff flew to Florida to prepare for the national championship game, the university hired a private investigation firm.“We asked them to focus on any threats to the university or its reputation, by providing more information about the so-called Kekua family that might help us understand motives, or whether they might have had any contact with others at Notre Dame,” said Brown, who declined to name the firm. ... The investigation ordered by Notre Dame was limited to the electronic search, Brown said. Investigators did not interview Te’o or his family, nor did anyone attempt to contact Ronaiah Tuiasosopo or any of his relatives. In response to questions, university officials said the investigators did not examine cell phone records, e-mails or other electronic communication to determine the length or extent of Te’o’s communication over the past few years with the person claiming to be Lennay Kekua, nor did the university ask Te’o to take a lie detector test. www.southbendtribune.com/sbt-...584,full.story

1:42 p.m. | Updated Katie Couric has landed the first television interview with Manti Te’o, the Notre Dame football star who said he was tricked into believing first that he had a girlfriend and then that the girlfriend died of leukemia. The girlfriend never existed. The oddity of the preceding sentences explain why Mr. Te’o has received so much attention in recent days, and why the first interview of him has been so hotly pursued. The ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap interviewed Mr. Te’o for two and a half hours on Friday night, but Mr. Te’o's representatives insisted that it take place off-camera. Now, it seems, they are ready for him to go on-camera. Ms. Couric’s interview will be televised on Thursday on “Katie,” the syndicated talk show she began last fall, a spokeswoman for the show said on Sunday. Excerpts from the interview will be broadcast in advance on “Good Morning America” and other ABC News programs. Mr. Te’o will be joined by his parents, Brian and Ottilia, for the interview. Mr. Te’o apparently misled his father about the girlfriend, claiming at one point that he’d met her in Hawaii.

Double whammy: not only does your girlfriend not exist, she is also a man.

That was excellent. He cuts through BS like very few others do.

heh, I just realized that this Duck Dynasty business started with a Drew Magary article.
Feel like this is a "I KNEW HIM WHEN..." moment.
