July 8 (UPI) -- UConn agreed to a six-year, $50 million deal with Dan Hurley, keeping the men's basketball coach under contract through 2029-30, the school announced Monday.
The pact features performance-based incentives, which can increase Hurley's compensation. Hurley will receive a base salary of $400,000 annually, in addition to $6.3 million in compensation for speaking, consulting and media obligations in 2024-25. That compensation will escalate each year. He also will receive an annual retention bonus of $1 million.
"It's an honor to coach basketball at UConn and to represent this world class institution and the great state of Connecticut," Hurley said in a news release. "We are extremely proud of the championship program that we have rebuilt for our supporters and fans.
"We will continue to obsessively pursue championships and historic success, while continuing to develop great young men. Bleed Blue!"
