I mean, it seems clear to me that Bielema agreed to a hilariously low salary with the Patriots just so he could continue to screw Arkansas into paying him more. I don't blame Arkansas for stopping the payments

I read that Arkansas foundation was having money issues, donations are way down over the past few years, tens of millions. In order to make the fund look as if it stabilized, removed the $7 million they owed him from their books.

It's hard to argue against Bielema's lawyer's assertions regarding UT. I mean if ever there was a case for a coach fricking with you (or attempting to frick with you) it's Jones and his internship at Bama yet we're not stopping payment in response to his douchery. We're laughing at the fact that he still doesn't realize he's being mocked while he's thanking the very person who made him his bitch for doing so.
Bielema isn't at a rival, smoking victory cigars against players he recruited and coached. Arkansas made a deal it regrets but you made the deal.

This road leads to minor leagues and tbh, athletes who have gone to the minors and then gone to college football will tell you that life is better at a college football program.

So because Tennessee decided not to bring a case means Arkansas is in the wrong? Don't think that's how it works.
Bielema was supposed to look for a job of equal pay/stature, whatever the exact language was - it's pretty obvious he didn't. Note it's not acquire a job of similar stature, but it's attempt. The lazy frick couldn't even manage that.

Did you just find this out?
It's been mentioned here dozens of times.

The problem is that once he got fired, no middle or high level power five school wanted to hire him. At best he could have gotten a job at some AAC school that would have given him a seven figure salary. Maybe that is close enough to not violate the contract?

He would have had to at least try in order to find out.

Amazing how many P5 so called CFB Fans have such strong hate for the Players on the Field, you guys love the shite outta the Coaches but have tons of pent up hate for the Players
Such a shame

He didn't try and that is the problem we have now.

Arkansas fans can down voted all you want, but it is still true.
Explains why y'all went cheap with this coaching search

Consistent with that observation, in May 2019, the Arkansas DemocratGazette reported that, during the twenty-four months from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2018,
the Foundation suffered a $20 million decrease in annual revenues (from $48.9 million to $28.1 million) – a staggering decline by any measure.
Razorback Foundation Sees Drop in Donations, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (May 29, 2019). The Foundation’s most recent publicly available financial report (IRS Form 990) reflects annual revenues increased by only $3 million during the last reporting period – adding back just a small percentage of the $20 million revenue decline that began in 2016.
The Foundation’s most recent Form 990 included an adjustment to its balance sheet of $7.07 million that referenced a “change in guaranty payment” (to Coach Bielema, the Foundation has since confirmed).
By removing this liability from the Foundation’s balance sheet, the Foundation was able to avoid reporting a year-to-year decline in the Foundation’s total net worth, which would have raised even more questions from journalists.

That all might be 100% true but you are reading something prepared by Bert's attorney. Obviously is going to look bad for Arkansas but better believe the U of Arkansas is going to have something that looks bad on Bert as well. This case being in Fayetteville makes it more interesting as well.
In the end I believe this will just get settled. The amount at which will determine if this was worth it from the University's perspective.

I completely understand that, but he is citing numbers published in the Arkansas newspaper, released by the foundation.
From '16 to '18 they were down over $20 million in donations and would have been down again in '19 had they paid his contract.
