Look it up? They didn’t put him on scholarship because they had Davis Webb and Mahomes in front of him on the depth chart after he got hurt. Why would a coach give a walk-on, who was third string and only started because of injuries a scholarship?

ETA:

From Bleacher Report and why he was given a third year of eligibility at OU.

Okay, I guess they didn't pull a scholarship offer. They just didn't give him one when he should have earned one.

Trotter: So they told you they wouldn’t have a scholarship for you in the spring, either?

Mayfield: Exactly. They said they were still working on one for next fall. Trotter: Was that the final straw for you? Mayfield: I mean that was kinda leading up to it, yes. Then after the Texas game on Thanksgiving, the next week we went in, I was splitting second-team reps after starting on Thanksgiving. I still had no idea what was going on. I’d just had enough at that point.
