That was an understatement.
Bielema and his attorneys on Friday filed a lawsuit against the foundation asking for $7.05 million, basically what was left on his buyout agreement, as well as punitive damages, attorneys fees and court costs.
Bielema was fired at the end of the 2017 season, but an incredibly lucrative buyout given to him by former athletic director Jeff Long meant Bielema was owed more than $11 million.
The first $4,555,833.29 was paid.
Then foundation President Scott Varady reviewed the year and decided Bielema had breached the agreement by not actively seeking another coaching job.
