https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29587843/washington-state-football-coach-nick-rolovich-tells-wr-kassidy-woods-joining-unity-group-create-issueWoods called to inform Rolovich that he was opting out of the 2020 season because he has sickle cell trait and would be at an enhanced risk amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the call with Rolovich, Woods said he wanted to continue working out with the team.
"Shoot, that's all I've got to say about it. If they had shown me they wanted me to stay, they wouldn't have done all this. So, I'm not the problem here. I didn't create the problem. They did."
Based on the selected lines and quote from the story, I'm guessing the call was more about the movement first, then sickle cell as a way to leave but stay on scholarship.
Why would he call his coach to say he wants to opt out of the season but then hang around with the very players who would spread the virus to him? -
Rolobitch knew what he was doing. He threatened the kid for a political stance. He’s in deep shit.

tbqh, i dont think cuog can afford rolo's buyout to send him on his way. theyre gonna have to waddle him up to the podium and say 'im going to be re-educated on player's needs.'

Am I the only one who doesn't see the problem? Admittedly, I just learned of this on this thread, and I've only read the transcript of the call, but that transcript seemed pretty above board to me. If you hold out from playing--for any reason--what right do you have to stay "on the team" and keep a scholarship?
As someone who largely agree with the players' demands (or might agree with them once I've read them--which I'll probably be too lazy to do), being free to protest doesn't mean you're free from the consequences of protest. -
Agreed. But it's a horrible recruiting tactic. Most coaches are content laying low while expecting this to blow over. If we still do end up having a season and players start holding out, then you'll see coaches actually start to hand out punishment.1to392831weretaken said:Am I the only one who doesn't see the problem?

But given that the former looks increasingly unlikely, there's no reason to make a move yet. All Rolovich did was play his hand before there was a need to. And other coaches will happily sit back and watch him get skewered on the recruiting trail for it.
