Arkansas isn’t done with Bret Bielema yet.

Daniel Kaplan, a sports business reporter for The Athletic, shared Thursday that a judge has rejected a motion by the Arkansas Razorback Foundation to dismiss the $7 million lawsuit by the former UA head coach.

Bielema’s suit argues that the Foundation breached its contractual obligation to pay his buyout of roughly $12 million, an agreement signed in January 2018 after Bielema’s dismissal following the 2017 football season.

In October 2019, the Foundation stopped buyout payments to Bielema, who was an assistant for the New England Patriots. The Foundation has not paid Bielema the full $12 million arguing he has willfully refused to mitigate the amount of money owed to him. Different figures have been reported for Bielema’s salary with the Patriots. In October, it was reported the Foundation stopped payments believing Bielema agreed to be underpaid by the Patriots to continue receiving buyout payments. Bielema’s lawyers, however, say he made more than 7 times what Butch Jones as an intern/analyst at Alabama in 2019. Jones, who was receiving buyout payments from Tennessee, reportedly had a salary of $35,000 at Alabama in 2019.

Bielema is currently outside linebackers coach for the New York Giants. He coached at Arkansas from 2013-17.
