This is absolutely huge, but not entirely surprising. Rolovich had made it clear previously that he wasn’t vaccinated and he reportedly didn’t change his mind, according to Canzano’s report.
Now, in his second year with the Cougars, he’s out the door because he didn’t get vaccinated. This is about to become the biggest story in college football.

Rolovich had the Cougars sitting at 4-3 through seven games, but it’s all come to a crashing end. To call it a wild situation in Pullman would be an understatement.
Imagine explaining this to someone three years ago.
