If I pull an existing scholarship does it give me more $ in recruiting to fill it during that cycle or am I just rolling the dice that I can sign an extra player?

No extra money for pulling a scholarship. 

Thank you.

slight drop in reputation as well.....is covered in FAQ

If it is not a player that you signed, the rep hit is so negligible as to be meaningless.  I always cut a couple of useless players when I take over a team, just to quicken the process of getting my own players in there.

I'm about to start in Tark with a team that has 0 scholarships next season. I'm not sure if I'll have any recruiting money at all but if I drop a guy will I get money to fill the spot?

Nope. But if it's not a senior, it might be worth doing anyways, because if you replace a bad player with a walk-on, you'll get money at the end of the year when the walk-on leaves. If he's a senior, he'd leave anyways, so no use cutting unless there's leftover recruiting money from postseason stuff.

0 Scholarship gets 100% carryover, rather than the standard 25%. Whatever postseason cash you got from your conf, you keep all of it to the following year.
