Manti Teo and Ron McKlevey Scammers #2

    I find it very interesting that both of these football players were actually able to pull off these scams for any amount of time. However, I feel like Ron's should have been able to be exposed more quickly. I feel like the school should have been more thorough with checking into their students and players to ensure they are who they say they are. It's understandable that someone could say they have a girlfriend and that most people would not look into it. So, his scam actually working for a while is not as surprising to me as someone claiming to be someone else and getting away with it for a college football career.
    I think impersonating someone else is a serious offense and just am in shock that it can be done so easily. When it seemed a little strange for a twenty-three year old to still be in football, things should have been seriously looked at. I also think lying about having a girlfriend who passed away from something as serious as Leukemia is sickening. That is not something that should be taken lightly or joked around with. Now, unfortunately this is what Notre Dame will be remembered as instead of the team who went undefeated during regular season and made it to the National Championship against the country's best team.
     Hopefully, eventually people will learn it is not as easy as it used to be to just pass off a lie to the world with all the access to internet and records that the general public has today. I am tired of seeing these sick scams people try to pass off to get their "fifteen second of fame."
