A 2 1/2 hour off-camera interview, done tonight by Jeremy Schapp of ESPN has revealed that Manti Te'o (just how do you spell that first name?) has denied any involvement in the scam, seeming to lay all the blame at the feet of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.
He does, however, admit to lying to his father about the whole thing, saying to him that the two had met.
It is also claimed in the Schapp interview that the first time Te'o and Tuiasosopo met was only after the regular-season finale win over USC on November 24, 2012.
Deadspin has a photo of Te'o with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo's younger sister (reportedly named Pookah) on it's site.
It is known the two knew each other for quite some time, but it is, as yet, unconfirmed as to how they met or whether the USC meeting was, in fact, the first time the two had met face to face.
