Of course he was in on it.
1. Who was he talking to on the phone 8 hrs a night?
2. How about this: Nov. 28, 2009: Te'o and Kekua meet after Stanford's 45-38 victory over Notre Dame in Palo Alto, according to the South Bend Tribune: "Their stares got pleasantly tangled, then Manti Te'o extended his hand to the stranger with a warm smile and soulful eyes." Kekua, a Stanford student, swaps phone numbers with Te'o.
3. And this: (South Bend Tribune). "They started out as just friends," Te'o's father, Brian, told the Tribune in October 2012. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there."
Sounds to me like even his dad may have been in on it.
And all the stories that ran in the South Bend Tribune about them? If they weren't accurate and true, wouldn't someone have said something?
And Notre Dame found out about the hoax December 26th, but let Te'o continue to talk about the "death" after New Year's? That puts the university at fault to a degree too.
And notice ESPN started the "victim" thing after Notre Dame's statement, as if it was 100% fact. They ignored all of the red flags and immediately said Notre Dame and Te'o were victims. Looks like ESPN wants to keep Notre Dame holier than every other university.
Looks to me like Te'o, his friends that started this hoax, Notre Dame and ESPN are all worthless pieces of trash.
