They are your recruits, and when you cut them you will get no benefit of any cash or AP's. The only hope that you have is that this long term "KNOWN" issue gets resolved before you need to cut anyone. I just went through this exact situation with my Marshall team, was told by other forum members how a simple CS ticket would get my cash and AP points.
DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION at this time. You will get screwed, and lose the players and get no AP's to recruit with. That is worse then no cash, as you can always be frugle distance wise. But recruiting two or three people with the base 20AP's is really, really hard to do and will drive you bonkers. At 20 AP about the time you get to start offering visits and scholarships, the other guys in D@ have already started signing late preference guys too, and you can really get sucked to the bottom of the talent pool quick.
Just a word of warning.
