I'm not saying it's never happened - just saying I can't think of a situation and it seems pretty rare.
As for your comment about not recalling us ever losing a recruit because of it - I have 2 responses.
1.) Because I don't think we have actually done it
2.) I don't think we ever know why a recruit ultimately chose another school

It's a message board. People are going to use "pull a scholarship" instead of a "highly suggestive conversation between a player and coach about playing time which leads to a mutual parting" because it is easier. That's how coaches "pull" scholarships in most cases. Call a spade, a spade.
