UConn and men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley have reached a significant agreement, signing a six-year, $50 million contract extension that will keep Hurley at the helm through the 2029-30 season. This decision comes shortly after Hurley declined an enticing offer to coach the Los Angeles Lakers, opting instead to continue leading the two-time defending NCAA champions.
Under the terms of the new contract, Hurley stands to earn additional compensation through performance-based incentives. The agreement includes a base annual salary of $400,000, with opportunities for increased earnings from speaking engagements, consulting work, and media obligations. For the upcoming season, Hurley is set to receive $6.375 million.
