He chose UConn. Wonder what they offered him since Pitt reportedly offered 5+ years at $3+ million a year.

I can’t believe anyone thought Pitt was the better job.

Pitt offered more money than UConn according to the ESPN article.

While the Huskies lack high-level talent, Hurley still believed the program represented his best opportunity to be successful, sources said, even though Pittsburgh offered a more lucrative deal.

The Panthers were winless in the ACC this past season, Kevin Stallings' second with the program, and nine players have requested their releases and will consider transferring. Sources told ESPN that Pittsburgh's offer to Hurley was in excess of $3 million per year.

URI's offer, per sources, was $2 million per year for seven years beginning in July 2019 with a commitment to build a basketball-only practice facility to be completed within the next two years, along with staff salary increases and ability to charter for all away games.
