Dan Hurley Finally Has New UConn Deal After Dramatic Offseason

An unusually long summer of negotiations has paid off for UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley.

Paid off to the tune of nearly $18 million, that is.

The school announced a new six-year, $50 million contract for Hurley on Monday. It completely replaces his old deal, a six-year, $32.1 million contract he agreed to last summer. Only Kansas coach Bill Self, at $9.6 million annually, makes more in men’s college ball.

But that was before Hurley cemented himself as the present-day king of men’s college basketball, winning a second straight national title in dominant fashion this spring. And it was before a very public offer from the Lakers, which was ultimately reported to be six years, $70 million.
