There were some worries, albeit fairly limited, that Washington State Cougars donors would be pulling their money should the school follow through with relieving Nick Rolovich of his duties earlier this week. Those worries were apparently not only unfounded — but wildly misunderstood.
“We’ve raised over $3.5 million this week, and with that, we’ve hit our target goal for IPF funding,” WSU athletics director Pat Chun said at the weekly coaches luncheon today in Pullman.
Though weekly figures aren’t available, this is almost assuredly one of the best fundraising weeks in the history of the Cougar Athletic Fund — and it comes on the heels of former football coach Nick Rolovich being fired for failing to comply with the state’s Covid vaccination mandat.
