Nick Rolovich not getting vaccinated, won't attend Pac-12 media day

The Washington State head coach cited personal reasons in declining a vaccine and does not wish to discuss the matter further.

Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich will not attend next week's Pac-12 media days because of the league's requirement that all participants be vaccinated against Covid-19. Rolovich made the announcement over his Twitter account on Wednesday.

"As the Pac-12 Conference has required all in-person participants at next week's Pac-12 Football Media Day be fully vaccinated, I will participate remotely and look forward to talking about our football team and the incredible young men in our program," Rolovich said. "I have elected not to receive a COVID-19 vaccine for reasons which will remain private. While I have made my own decision, I respect that every individual -- including our coaches, staff and student-athletes -- can make his or her own decision regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. I will not comment further on my decision."

Rolovich is to date the only FBS head coach to publicly state he has not and will not get vaccinated. Mike Leach, formerly the Wazzu head coach and now at Mississippi State, earlier Wednesday declined to state whether or not he'd been vaccinated and said he wouldn't share his status publicly in either direction.

Earlier this week, the Division II Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced it is requiring all athletics personnel to be fully vaccinated. The SIAC is thus far the first and only conference to lay down such an edict, and there's been no indication any FBS league will follow suit.

The next step will now be to see if the Pac-12 will require Rolovich and other unvaccinated personnel to wear a mask on the sideline during games this fall.

It is like this at my work. Unvaxed people cannot eat with other people, have to wear a mask all day, and get tested on a weekly basis. They also have to wipe down any furnature with disinfecting wipes if someone uses it.

When the Day of Reckoning comes, it will burn like a massive forest fire. Americans are fed up with these tyrants taking away our freedom and fabricating “science” to justify it.

They may as well have you going around saying “unclean, unclean “ like in the Bible days.

What is so wrong with conducting this media presser by ZOOM meeting? Six months ago, the media would be thrilled about his safety awareness for holding it this way.

In addition, the media will now waste the entire interview attacking him about not getting vaccinated instead of asking anything about his team.

I tell people that say I need to wear a mask because I’m unvaxxed that I’d have it no other way. I have no idea what the vaxxed are shedding and want to protect myself.

That is exactly right, except that this is the Devil's version, which is aimed at primarily Christians and those who will not kneel before the machinations of this Kafka-esque government.

All days are Bible days.

Actually, very few people are dying now. 85% of the vulnerable population like Boomers have been vaxxed.

I have the Delta variant. It’s basically a long-lasting bad cold.

I’m not even referring to dying. But who is getting sick? The vaxxed are. An example are the Texas Democrats.

Vaccines don’t keep you from getting Covid. They keep you from dying with Covid.

Once again history repeats itself.

The Nazis required Jews to wear a six pointed Start of David yellow badge in order to isolate and persecute them.

Exactly.

It sucks. :(

Quitting is not a viable option. Not close to retirement. Too many years with the company. Still have a mortgage. Too expensive to live here with without an income.

You need to have as much fun as possible with it. In reality you are the freedom thinkers.
