FAYETTEVILLE -- The Razorback Foundation filed a countersuit last week against former University of Arkansas football coach Bret Bielema and his agent, Neil Cornrich.
The 52-page countersuit was filed Thursday in federal court for the Western District of Arkansas by Razorback Foundation attorney Marshall S. Ney of the Friday Eldredge & Clark firm. The countersuit claims Bielema and Cornrich conspired to suppress Bielema's income after negotiating a buyout settlement with the foundation
In June, Bielema's attorneys, led by Tom Mars of Rogers, filed a $7 million lawsuit claiming the Razorback Foundation had breached the terms of a final release agreement that would have paid Bielema more than $11.
