In October 2021, after being denied a religious exemption to Washington's requirement for state employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19, Rolovich was terminated by WSU.[4] Rolovich alleges that athletic director Patrick Chun asked him to receive the vaccine on the stadium 50-yard line in front of the entire football team. He has since sued the university for $25 million.[5]
