Even if the case doesn’t settle, seems likely much if will be resolved by summary judgment (at least partially) rather than a trial. See what happens in discovery from both parties, certainly could see some dispute on material facts that matter, but much of it will be strictly issue of law.
Rolo going "scorched earth"

This will settle, they all do, but the damage to Rolo's career by suing will be long lasting. No school will hire him after this - Maybe if he was a little bit better coach, but he isn't. This will end up being a cheap buyout for bad hire.
General allegations of discrimination are not going to go far, there's going to have to be some documentable basis. He's going to have to have something that demonstrates a pattern of discrimination for this to get past the preliminaries.
I'm not a papist though fluent in certain traditions of the Irish-Catholics.
Primarily those related to consuming fermented grapes and grains.
Peace be with ya!
Then there is Rolo's profession faith as told to June Jones, "I don't want it, don't think I need it, don't like being told what to do." Has there ever been a more devoted expression of the "faith of self absorption?"
And this utter grace is going to be lionized by many as a religious martyr, along the lines of Joan of Arc, Thomas Beckett and Margaret Clitherow, true people "of Faith" and died for it! If there is a god, I hope he is the mean arse old testament god, and tears Rolo a new one.
god, god, god, god, ... ouch! having chest pains, lightning outside, floor's shaking, are those locust, what's wrong first born son, you don't look well. ...
I haven't seen this much discussion of religion since, well, ever. And guess who is coming to Pullman this weekend.
So, if Rolo was refused his god given right, he's vaxxed, the problem's solved, right? He might have a claim for battery, but he's back to work, right?
I would like to know when god passed the law, or promulgated the holy executive order, granting the right to refuse experimental vaccines? I must have missed it in my bible updates. As for your heresy that it ain't about the Pope, WHAT! You are talking about god's apostle on earth, the holy father, the holy see, who is infallible and fully vaxxed. Rolo, a convenient man of faith, is going to come over to your house and punch you in the nose, shortly after he checks his bank account and after the media arrives. Wouldn't want to break a nail, without media.
The hypocrite found his faith exactly when he signed his request, according to June Jones. So stop transferring your apparent sincere belief on Rolo. You and your gullibility are being played.
Sooo much incorrect and misunderstood.
“There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” - Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Eh? The language is not Chestertonian. You don’t need to a degree in literature to figure out that the CDF says vaccines are neither morally obligatory nor may be mandated.
Grew up Catholic, indoctrinated by nuns in school over many years, daily catechism for 8 years in school. I remember when virtually every Catholic was Democrats, back in the day when to be Republican was to be protestant, and feared and hate Catholics. Left the Church and religion when it went bat shite crazy in the 80s, stopped its "good works" mission to serve the poor, the down trodden, to fight for social justice like Jesus, wouldn't come clean about the abuse, and became yet another protestant faith, you know, worshiping the god of money above all, and ignoring the primary calling of the faith that "faith without works is nothing." Can Pope Francis turn it around and make Catholicism a badge of honor once again? We can only hope! I don't believe the nonsense anymore, but I respect good people doing good works, true Catholics. That is what I was taught it was to be Catholic. Rolo isn't on that spectrum.
You do know that Sheen will never be beatified because of his involvement in hiding sex abuse. Quoting a criminal, that's rich, but indicative.
Do you mean can Pope Francis make Catholicism what *Cougsocal* wants it to be?
You do realize that Catholic church is the single largest charitable organization in the world? The Church operates schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, drug treatment, marriage counseling, orphanages, and many, many more. The Economist estimated in 2010 that just the Catholic Church in the US spent $171 billion on charitable activity. That's just in the US.
So, in what sense did it stop "its 'good works' mission to serve the poor, the down trodden, to fight for social justice"? While certainly the abuse scandals are horrific and inexcusable, the answer is reform not abandonment.
Your ad hominem did nothing to address the point of Sheen's quote. And I think your post above provides further evidence of the truth of his statement.
Pope Francis is a communist at best and a bought and paid for corporate shill at worst. In today's bizarro world, possibly both.
He's certainly not John Paul who came from an oppressed communist country and defended human rights and liberty. Arguably, he not Reagan caused the collapse of communism with his ascension.

From a recruiting standpoint, the end of the season can't come soon enough. Get a new coach hired ASAP and hope the recruits you like are willing to stay committed and see who the new guy is. Any recruit with a viable alternative is probably gone.Serious question here for all...what happens with recruiting right now?
You don't know if Dickert will be the guy (though the way the D has played, you'd like to see him maybe stay...you know with Coach Pete), I assume he'll recruit as this was his program in the future. Every candidate is going to want to recruit their guys. The momentum that the team had in depth and talent will be likely gone in the next season (at the latest). So this is the biggest looming issue in my mind. Feels like this class may be a wash, which kills everything.
How long do you allow Dickert show his abilities before getting ahead of hiring the best candidate to lead this team forward so recruiting can start? This is an open-ended question, but things I've been considering as the program moves forward.
We've seen good transitions and disastrous ones. Wulff came in to only a handful of recruits and filled the class with possibly the worst recruiting class I've ever seen at WSU. Leach came into a fuller class, gutted half of it and added guys like Destiny, Gabe Marks & Allison. Basically, does the new guy have some pull or not?
The hope here is you retain a few of the guys you already have, the new coach brings a few guys he had committed at his previous spot, then you fill the rest with JCs & portal guys, I guess.
I don't know about that. Took him 7 weeks of the season to get himself fired. He could have just coached out the remaining 5 and left in good standing and had many more opportunities for another job. This idea that he didn't like Pullman, so sabotaged his career seems kind of far fetched.
For what it is worth, that is pretty much standard procedure at large companies to Have an escort when one is ‘let go’ / fired. All very normal. It doesn’t ever look good, but it’s pretty normal.
I mean, he was unemployed for 2 years. When was the last time a coach with a 66% career winning percentage sat around waiting for the phone to ring for 2 years?
Didn't "ruin" his career, but it certainly derailed it for a bit.
I agree. Though it isn't usually police. It might be security, though often just a few HR folk. If it was indeed actual WSU Police, it is quite bush league.
except none of the assistants were escorted. It would appear to be targeted at Rolo.
If that is even a claim. This is a press release. I imagine the legality of the mandate will have to be raised.
I was a lowly functionary, and I left willingly, but when I left WSU my supervisor walked me out.
I left a Hanford contractor (also willingly) and got escorted out of the building by security.
The only time I've heard of WSUPD escorting someone out, they also got in the back seat of a WSUPD car. I wonder if it was really PD, or if it was WSU security....who works under PD, and their uniforms don't look that much different.
John Paul, like Francis lived/live their faith, John Paul II, would be behind bars if he were live today and dared to show up in this country. His good works early don't make up for his contemplable obstruction of justice late. He's worse than the "unenthusiastic member of the Hitler youth," the Nazi pope's own words, and that is saying a lot.
Praising Sheen, now JPII, and people wonder why so so many churches have closed.
As for charitable work, to keep its tax exemption status, the Church is structured such that the vast majority of its "giving" goes to acquisitions, paying settlements, covering losses, maintaining church property and salaries. How much of that is real charity, free giving to the poor and needy? Sadly like most charities, its pennies on the dollar.
Ask yourself, where is that 171 billion in outreach in the USA alone exactly?
Scientology also claims it gives billions and billions to charity too, that charity is called building "reading rooms." I.e. buying and holding real estate. Don't be so naïve.
All one has to do is visit the Vatican and witness the enormous amount of hoarding.
