Dixon was suspended after the preseason overseas trip for flunking out of Arts and Sciences. While they tried to get a different program to take him in, he was then also accused of a sexual assault. He was going to be rejoining the team at semester until Kim English got into a twitter battle with his accuser, and the public perception and media coverage turned against him.
He was also suspended back in 2010-11 for academic dishonesty, which caused him to lose his starting role to a freshman Phil Pressey. There just ended up being too many things stacked up against him at MU and he elected to transfer.
From his initial suspension that preseason:

Haith added that Dixon, a projected starter, has not been participating in practice recently in order to work on academics. Haith said his decision to suspend both has been in the works for “a couple weeks.”
“It also creates a real opportunity for personal growth,” Haith said. “Mike has had some time off to work on some academic stuff, and he has done a nice job, he’s made some strides in that area. I’m really proud of how well he’s done so far, and that’s why we’re going to have him back at practice starting next week.”
