Coach Dan Hurley, who led the University of Connecticut to the top of American college basketball, renewed his contract for $50 million about 69.2 billion won for six years.

AP reported on the 9th that Hurley re-signed with the University of Connecticut a month after rejecting the NBA's LA Lakers' offer to coach.

Hurley, who put the University of Connecticut at the top of Division 1 in college basketball for the second consecutive year in May, may lead the team through the 2029-2030 season and earn extra income through performance-based incentives.

The university explained that Hurley will receive $6.375 million next season alone, including bonuses from lectures and consulting, in addition to his annual base salary of $400,000.

Hurley went 141-58 in six seasons at the University of Connecticut.

The Lakers reportedly offered $70 million over six years to buy Hurley last month.

Coach Hurley admitted that "the proposal was tempting," but said, "I decided to stay at university for those who support me."
