The only logical explanation is that Te'o and Tuiasosopo are lovers - and I certainly do not care if Manti is or is not gay.

Even though it's a logical explanation, it's FAR from being the only logical one.


The most logical one is that they created this as a way to get sympathy voters for the Heisman:

The hawaiian linebacker from Notre Dame who had one of the best all time seasons after the sad deaths of his grandmother and his girlfriend on the same day.

It got him a lot of attention and a lot of media hype that then translated to being a Heisman favorite.
