BYU Women’s Soccer Head Coach Jennifer Rockwood Threatens to Resign Over Contract Issues
PROVO, UT – Jennifer Rockwood, the head coach of Brigham Young University’s (BYU) women’s soccer team, has issued a stern warning that she may resign from her position if her contract situation is not addressed promptly. The 26-year veteran of the program has led the Cougars to numerous successful seasons and is widely regarded as one of the top coaches in NCAA Division I soccer. However, according to sources close to the team, Rockwood has become increasingly frustrated with what she perceives as a lack of attention to her contract renewal and compensation.
In a meeting with athletic department officials earlier this week, Rockwood reportedly expressed her concerns about the lack of progress regarding her contract extension and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding her future with the program. Rockwood’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and while her success on the field has been undeniable, it seems that administrative support has not kept pace with her achievements.
Over the course of her tenure at BYU, Rockwood has built one of the most respected programs in collegiate soccer. Under her leadership, the Cougars have made multiple NCAA tournament appearances and consistently rank among the top teams in the country. Her commitment to developing players both on and off the field has earned her widespread admiration from her players, peers, and fans alike.
Sources indicate that Rockwood’s dissatisfaction stems not only from the delay in contract negotiations but also from what she perceives as a lack of respect for her contributions to the university. The coach has reportedly made it clear that she will not continue under the current terms, and if no action is taken, she may step down from her role.
BYU officials have not yet commented publicly on the situation, but with the season in full swing, the pressure is mounting for a resolution. Rockwood’s potential departure would mark the end of an era for a program that has become a cornerstone of BYU’s athletic success.
