I honestly think this scenario is quite plausible, and if it isn't Te'o brought it on himself. The facts remain that a NFL locker room may in fact be about the least tolerable place in the world for a gay man. A fairly high 1st round draft pick I think it is safe to say may not want to be an openly gay man in the NFL or society. The fake, then dead girlfriend could be his beard for his entire NFL career in his mind as to never having to have interest in any other women as none would measure up to his "dead" love of his life. It makes more sense than seeking Heisman votes I think. You've got religion involved....a Mormon kid at a Catholic university. Lots of it makes sense...I'm buying Antitrust's rumor as well and sticking to it, I think it makes the most sense.
