Bret Bielema is suing Razorback Foundation for $7M, arguing he's owned for unpaid wages from coaching

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

A while back Arkansas stopped paying Bert his buyout ...

Word has it he was getting paid 50k a year at New England to coach their Defensive Line... a job that usually pays several hundred thousand a year ... to millions.

Normally buyouts like Bert's say that if he makes money elsewhere then Arkansas pays that amount less of the buyout. Seems like they were gaming the system to keep Arkansas to foot the bill...

He is with the Giants now and I'm not sure what he's paid.

Decision to stop Bret Bielema buyout payments could save Arkansas millions

Bielema's decision to stick it to Arkansas may have backfired on him.

Well, they went whole hog on him. In the attempt to save money, it may cost both sides a ton of money in a legal battle. There won't be any winners.

If they decide Bert should have been paid a $1mil or something... (and he's still working...) the school could save a ton.

Let alone the message of "don't pull this on us in the future".

It pains me to admit, but I'm with Bert on this one!

Maybe Bert can take over for Ferentz?

Burt owes Arkansas for his lack of coaching when he was there.

Poor BB, he rose above his station.
As long as he had the Emperor to keep him in line he was ok.
AK was too desperate for some success and did not do due diligence.
I really do not care about the outcome.
NE is the place that hosed themselves with the Pelini buy out.

Only winners during this pissing match are the evil lawyers

Love that idea. We are owed a ton of money by coaches we have or have had.

The U would be rolling in cash from the last 50+ years.
