I just don't think the guy would put his career on the line and go to such efforts to screw OM. It's likely he'd get called out on it since so many people know about scholarship offers. Somewhere along the way, a recruit would have to scratch his head and think about the scholarship he never received but people acknowledge was extended.
I'm giving you the jerk off factor. But, the tossed out offers aspect of it is simply outrageous to me. I can't believe, unless I had proof, that someone would be that dumb just to continue his grudge.
