It isn’t personal.
It is all business.
The Razorback Foundation believes that Bret Bielema failed to meet the requirements for his buyout.
They have asked the $4.2 million paid him be repaid to the Foundation.
Bielema wants to keep that money and receive the remaining $7.6 million while working as a defensive line coach for the New England Patriots for $150,000, far below the market value of an assistant in the NFL.
That is the maximum he’s allowed to make (it was previously reported as $50,000) without it coming out of his monthly check of $320,833.
