Everyone, including Notre Dame, would like Manti Te'o to come forward and talk about the fake girlfriend hoax.
Of course they do! It's taking away from the afterglow of last season's 12-0 run.
But they could end all the speculation and conjecture by just releasing the detailed report they paid for. Release the report Jack!
Manti Te'o remains silent. Notre Dame, like most everybody else, apparently wishes he wouldn't. Outside of a prepared statement released by his agency, the former Heisman Trophy runner-up hasn't spoken about the alleged hoax consuming him now, in which a California man purportedly duped Te'o into believing he had a girlfriend named Lennay Kekua who died of leukemia in September.

"I don't have any specific knowledge as to how and when," Swarbrick said. "But I can't fathom a circumstance where it doesn't. I sort of share everybody's view that it has to happen. And we are certainly encouraging it to happen. We think it's important and we'd like to see it happen sooner rather than later."
