I was on campus at that time and while Schneider being dismissed was a bigger impact on the team there was a lot of stuff going on which eventually lead to firing Kruczek and hiring O'Leary. This was the one also happened that fall:

This sounds like classic Jose Jose type stuff

From a sentinel article from 2003:

While privacy laws kept Coach Mike Kruczek from detailing violations, the quartet of Johnson, Veenstra, Schneider and Gagne-Marcoux apparently had stretched thin the patience of the coaching staff when it came to academics. It appears the final straw came when the school’s academic compliance personnel discovered the foursome had submitted “forged” courtesy slips earlier this season — documents professors must sign to show players have informed them they will be missing class for football-related road trips.

“My forms were signatured by me,” said Johnson, who signed his own name in the place of a professor but wouldn’t say why he did so. “I wrote ‘DeMarcus Johnson.’ I don’t know what Schneider or Cedric did, but that’s how my forms were signed. I guess they want to say I forged a signature, but it was my name ‘DeMarcus Johnson.’ I wouldn’t call that forgery.

“I’m a senior and I’m trying to play on the next level, and I feel like it’s cutting my chances short over some [expletive] forms that ain’t really too serious. It’s crazy. Over some [expletive] forms, man. Over forms, man, forms. That’s crazy.”

It seems that the professors would know when the players are out of town. It’s pretty public. I know back in the 80s they never had anything like that, just assumed they were out of town if they had an out of town game. Of course these days there may be an event or something like that but I would think that would be really Unusual.
They must’ve did some really stupid and obvious.
