Patterson, 19, is charged with providing false identification to law enforcement, theft of services and carrying a false identification card, according to Manheim Township police.

Patterson isn't the first college student to ever use a fake ID. But that combined with the restaurant tab really doesn't look good.

We've obviously seen off-court non-academics incidents before - most recently perhaps with Keith Benjamin's alleged assault (later dropped) and Levance Fields' Strip Distrct fiasco. Neither Benjamin nor Fields were removed from the team as a result of those incidents.

Another thing to consider is that Pitt is already over the limit in scholarships (by two) next season, assuming everyone is academically eligible). A player can't lose his scholarship, but we've all seen examples of players 'moving on.' I don't think this is the type of thing that would typically get a player booted from a program, but considering the scholarship circumstances, it likely wasn't in his best interests.

We'll have to see how this plays out.
