Until recently all scholarships had to be 1 year deals, with no guarantee of renewal from year to year.  As a practical matter, not renewing a scholarship would likely result in bad publicity, but there was nothing preventing coaches from doing it.

Yes, all scholarships are essentially renewable one-year contracts. You might remember that it was just a year or two ago that U,S,C made news by announcing that all of their athletic scholarships, school wide, would be four-year commitments. I've heard anything about that since, so I assume it's still in effect.
