Bill isn't Selfish and stays at Kansas

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/04/10/bill-self-turns-down-oklahoma-state-money-will-stay-at-kansas/

Bill Self won that ever elusive NCAA Tourney championship this year with the Kansas Jayhawks, their first since 1988 (here's to you Roy Williams). However, there was much speculation that Self would bolt for $10 million and his alma mater in Oklahoma State. Oh, don't feel too bad for Self, he's going to be one of the highest paid coaches in the country and he just won a national championship.
