Overview
- Reports say Hurley agreed to a new contract that keeps him under UConn control through the 2031–32 season, with the news first published Friday.
- Media accounts note financial terms have not been released but say the extension is expected to keep Hurley among college basketball’s highest-paid coaches.
- Hurley previously signed a six-year, $50 million deal in July 2024 that ran through 2029–30 after talks with the Los Angeles Lakers about their head-coaching job.
- The extension comes as UConn opens the 2026–27 season at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford against Gardner-Webb and carries top-five preseason expectations.
- If Hurley completes the new deal he would spend 14 straight seasons at UConn, a tenure behind only Jim Calhoun and Hugh Greer, and he already ranks third in school history with 199 wins.
