My first inkling is that Manti found out she was fake not too long after her faked death. He was probably too embarrassed to publicly bust the story, so he sat on it for awhile. He probably got over the hump where it was OK for him to tell people what happened, and now it has shit in his lap. I don't think that he fabricated this girl to get the publics pity. I just think he was goofed on and too embarrassed to spill the beans when the time was kosher. Now he looks like an ass.
Either way, can you imagine what kind of shit flinging would be going on right now had he won the Heisman? He's probably thanking Joseph Smith that he got 2nd place. Holy shit.

There are a few possibilities:
He's dumb and really got taken by this. And then was too embarrassed to say that he never met her, it was only online/phone/emotional relationship
He had a part in it to get votes.
He's schizo.
He's gay and made up having a girlfriend.

So I'm beginning to wonder if he's going to make another statement about this. His standing statement doesn't answer the fact that he has been lying for whatever reason. He needs to man up and get it out there to clear his name. This thing isn't going to go away.
At the very least, he's going to get blown up at the combine as well as individual team workouts. For all we know this guy has an undiagnosed mental disability that led to his shitty judgement and avoidance.

ESPN is now reporting that Manti kept the story going after he knew the girl was fake.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/...d-knowing-hoax
My opinion remains the same. He found up and was too caught up/embarrassed to come clean about it. Now shit's hitting the fan. I'm a cynical person, sort of, but I can't help but laugh at how pathetic all of this is. ESPN says he knew she was fake before the Heisman thing, yet the ass kept talking about it right up to the ceremony.
It's looking bad for him. The public for some reason thinks being lied to is the worst offense one can commit, and people are starting to get pissed.
