Even if Te'o was, in fact, duped/innocent -- and that would have to mean that a lot of the earlier reporting was wrong and neither Te'o nor the N.D. SID made any effort to correct it then -- the comments by the N.D. AD today indicate that Te'o knew there was a problem as early as December 6, yet waited until December 26 to mention it to his coaches, and, after that, the N.D. AD and/or SID apparently made no effort to keep ESPN et al from continuing to tell the story up to the time of the NCG.  I think the AD/SID can be faulted -- or made fun of -- even if it turns out to be unfair to do so with respect to Te'o.

And, of course, aside from all that...Taylor really DID cross the goal line.
