Dan Hurley Finally Has New UConn Deal After Dramatic Offseason

[RandySF]

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.
