FAYETTEVILLE -- Tom Mars, the attorney representing former University of Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema, filed a feisty brief late Wednesday in Bielema's $7 million lawsuit against the Razorback Foundation.
The 34-page brief argues against the Razorback Foundation's latest motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which Mars filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, based on lack of jurisdiction. The sides disagree on whether disputes between Bielema and the Razorback Foundation should be heard in federal or district court, both of which have locations in Fayetteville.
The lawsuit has been given a preliminary trial date of early June 2021.
