UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley has agreed to a six-year, $50 million contract through the 2029-30 season, the school announced Monday.
After a roller-coaster weekend filled with rumors and speculation, Dan Hurley's loyalty to UConn trumped the bright lights of Los Angeles and the Lakers. Hurley's new contract is worth $50 million over six years, before performance-based incentives.
Under his new contract, Hurley will receive a base salary of $400,000 per year and additional compensation for speaking, consulting and media obligations that rises every year. The additional compensation begins at $6.375 million for the 2024-25 season. He will also receive a retention bonus of $1 million per year.
After stints at Wagner and Rhode Island, Hurley arrived at UConn in 2018. In his six seasons with the Huskies, he's 141-58 and guided the program to back-to-back national championships in 2023 and 2024.
