Coach Jimmy Johnson of the University of Miami announced the suspension of starting wide receiver Andre Brown through the Hurricanes’ Orange Bowl game against Nebraska on Jan. 2.

“Andre Brown has been suspended for a violation of team policy,” Johnson said in a statement released by the school. “He will not be permitted to practice with the team or play in the Nebraska game.

“As is the case with any internal disciplinary action within our team, the details surrounding the suspension will remain confidential.”

The suspension means the end of Brown’s career with Miami, since he is a senior. He was second on the team this season with 47 catches for 746 yards and a team-high 8 touchdown receptions. Sophomore Randal Hill will replace him in the lineup.
