Foundation tried to muzzle Richardson in Arkansas basketball case
In a dispute surrounding Nolan Richardson, the Arkansas Razorback Foundation proposed a February contract addendum for his TV show with conduct clauses restricting disparagement of the university and demanding sobriety. Richardson refused to sign, calling the move a suppression of free speech as he faced his looming dismissal amid a season. The university later bought out his contract for 3 million over six years, while a review led by UA system President Alan Sugg continued and legal options were discussed by Richardson’s lawyer.
