The suspension ends the career of Schneider, a senior, who finishes second on the school's all-time passing yards list behind current Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

In nine games this season, he completed 194-of-281 passes for 1,949 yards, with 13 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

Schneider has thrown a touchdown pass in a school-record 28 straight games, a school record. He ranks 14th on the NCAA's all-time list in touchdown passes (82) and 12th in passing yards (10,976).

Also suspended for a similar reason was redshirt freshman center Cedric Gagne-Marcoux.

UCF has games remaining against Eastern Michigan, Marshall, and Miami (Ohio).
