In my experience, admittedly limited, that's not the case. Unless there is player misconduct, or unless the athlete isn't living up to the conditions of the scholarship (missing practices, violating team rules, etc.) you really can't just take a player off scholarship because you want to or want to give it to someone else. The athlete can appeal to the NCAA and unless the school can show cause, the NCAA will side with the athlete. This is particularly hard to do for counter sports like basketball or women's volleyball, particularly when the scholarships are fully funded.

I realize that the relationship between athlete and school/coach/team would probably be forever poisoned. I also realize there are lots of ways (like perpetually riding the pine) to encourage an athlete to leave. It's not usually worth the pain for a school to try to get rid of an athlete just because.
