I think anyone who has followed this young man, or really, can use their brain to think logically, would understand that it's much more likely that he was duped and not that he was the center of some ridiculous conspiracy to generate publicity for himself.
I know when I try to cover up a secret, I make sure that I take my cover up and make a huge national story that can be easily fact checked. That's always the best way to make sure no one ever finds out.
More facts and details will come out and maybe it will say he was in on it or he wasn't. Until otherwise, I'll still support him.

You sound exactly like Falcons fans did when Vick first got arrested. And how Steelers fans, Lakers fans, etc. sounded when their star players were being accused of rape. It's pretty sad when people will overlook all of these various indiscretions because of some weird, misguided sense of loyalty.
Do you know Manti? Have you ever personally associated with him, or anyone from ND for that matter? On what level do you feel like you "owe" him your support or loyalty, instead of standing back and looking at this logically?
You keep looking for motivation, but sometimes the attention can be motivation itself. He could very well have a personality disorder.

Münchausen by proxy
Main article: Münchausen syndrome by proxy
The word 'proxy' means 'substitute'. It is coded in the DSM-IV under Factitious Disorder NOS (not otherwise specified). Münchausen by proxy is the involuntary use of another individual to play the patient role. For example, false symptoms are produced in children by the caregivers or parents (almost always mothers), to produce the appearance of illness, or they may give misleading medical histories about their children. The parent may falsify the child's medical history or tamper with laboratory tests to make the child appear sick. Occasionally, in Münchausen by proxy, the caregiver actually injures the child to ensure that the child is treated. Such parents enjoy the attention that they receive from having a sick child
However, there is discussion to reclassify them as somatoform disorder in the DSM-5 as it is unclear whether or not people are conscious of drawing attention to themselves
