WSU's Nick Rolovich Sued by Former WR Kassidy Woods over 2020 Opt-Out

Northern Colorado wide receiver Kassidy Woods, who was part of the Washington State football program from 2018-2020 before transferring last December, is suing his former school as well as WSU head coach Nick Rolovich.

Per Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today, Woods is accusing WSU and Rolovich "of breach of contract, violating his civil rights and covering up COVID-19 cases in athletics."

On Aug. 2, 2020, Woods spoke with Josh Peter of USA Today and said Rolovich removed him from the team because he was part of #WeAreUnited, a group of Pac-12 football players who made numerous demands of the conference in a piece for The Players' Tribune.
