Bielema trial delayed until 2022

FAYETTEVILLE — Former University of Arkansas football Coach Bret Bielema’s trial date in his lawsuit against the Razorback Foundation has been moved to the week of Jan. 10, 2022.

U.S. District Judge P.K. Holmes III entered a final scheduling order in the case on Wednesday, moving the jury trial that had originally been scheduled for this June into early next year.

The two sides, at odds over their final buyout agreement, have been filing contentious motions the last several months. The foundation, represented by Marshall Ney of the Friday Law Firm in Rogers, has also counter-sued Bielema and his agent, Neil Cornrich.
