Bielema lawyers ask for sanctions

Attorneys representing former Arkansas coach Bret Bielema filed a motion in federal court Tuesday asking for sanctions against counsel for the Razorback Foundation.

The motion, filed in the Western District of Arkansas, argues the Razorback Foundation’s counterclaims in a lawsuit filed against Bielema and his agent Neil Cornrich are “false and injurious allegations of a conspiracy to defraud.”

The foundation claimed Bielema was in breach of the terms of his final release agreement in a letter dated Jan. 31, 2019. The letter outlined why the foundation felt Bielema had breached the agreement and demanded more than $4.
