Pritchett was charged with knowingly passing on a sexually transmitted disease according to a report by the Tuscaloosa Thread. He was later released on a $500 bond. 

The offensive lineman has appeared in all 13 games this season for the Crimson Tide, but mainly in a reserve or special teams role. Early in the season, Pritchett was fighting for the left tackle starting job with Kadyn Proctor.

WTF?  Who knows what sort of state laws Alabama has regarding private sexual activity. For all we know, this could be for cold sores.  Anyway, not disclosing to a partner is slimy AF, but also STI precautions are a two-way street (or even a three-way street if you're lucky enough).

I worry that somehow, Petitti is going to use this as an excuse to try and suspend Harbaugh for the Alabama game. You might argue that this is an SEC issue or a personal matter. Nothing to do with Harbaugh at all. Cheesburgers and oranges. Whatever. But I'm still worried.

Damn. As a college kid, I would have rathered them charge me for just about anything short of murder over this one...

 

...and even murder I'd have to be like, "any chance I'm out in 5?"

 

Whew! Tough break, kid.
