The change is set to take effect in November.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More:&amp;nbsp;Change inevitable for new CFB playoff&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maryland will also provide tuition, books and fees for any athlete \"who leaves the institution in good academic standing and returns to complete his or her degree.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The multi-year scholarship guarantee ensures that an athlete's scholarship will not be canceled or reduced after one year, as current NCAA rules permit a school to do.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Molly Geary&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
