According to Sports Illustrated, Schaeffer was charged with misdemeanor assault and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge with a sentence of six months of judicial diversion. Head coach Phillip Fulmer
then asked Schaeffer to be transferred to another school due to the unnecessary length of his "punishment".

College of the Sequoias

Schaeffer then transferred to the College of the Sequoias in 2005 and spent one year there.[7] Where he was named First-team All-American and Co-Offensive Player of the Year by the California Community College Coaches Association as well as First-team All-America by J.C Gridwire.

Ole Miss.[10]

Ole Miss

Schaeffer then transferred to Ole Miss prior to the

correspondence courses to complete the six academic hours he needed for admission to Ole Miss. However, the correspondence courses were taking too long due to their open ended dates, which Coach Orgeron said. "When you take correspondence courses, there's an open-ended date. Some of the courses were taking too long to complete. I didn't know if he could complete them by the time camp started." [4] Schaeffer eventually did arrive and started all 12 games and completed 115-of-244 passes (47.1%) for 1,442 yards, nine touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a passer rating of 100.75.[11] Then in 2007, he completed 35-of-93 passes (37.6%) for 578 yards, five touchdowns, four interceptions and a passer rating of 98.98.[12]
In the preseason, he was selected as the SEC's best Scrambler by Athlon.
