You bet I saw his sticker...I loved at halftime they were like "pretend you are coaching Kansas right now..."

Thought that was pretty funny...

It will be tough decision for Bill Self to make. KU with rich in basketball tradition and full fan support or OSU with bunch of money bags. If Bill Self leaves, I think KU will go after Rick Pitino or someone big.... NOT Danny Manning.

I don't think Self will go anywhere right now.Not after winning last night, and having a talented class incoming.

Firing Sutton after two seasons was a huge mistake. If OSU were to be paying Self $4 million a year, how long would they give him to win a Final Four? Two years? Four?

Can you imagine him going back to Allen Fieldhouse as the coach of OSU? You think they were ****** at Roy, that would be BRUTAL! Somehow I don't see this happening.

On ESPN Radio this morning they were saying that Self in an interview was responding to questions saying something to the effect that he thinks talks with the current AD will go well and put him in a position to not need to go to OSU. I think it was obvious that Self was saying that money talks.

Heard that too. It was Self clearly posturing for more cash.

Trust me, there is more to the NBA angle than you people think. Where is the new NBA team going to be located people?

I don't follow the NBA. Is it going to be in KC?

Oklahoma City. Where he grew up, where his family lives.

from the way it sounds a lot of people are just dismissing the thought of billy returning home cause he is at a basketball rich school, its not like Okie State is chopped liver they have been to two final fours since 1995, and are also pretty rich in tradition themselves, why not leave? he's getting paid to go home!!

i heard on ESPN that the offer is $10MM upfront and $4MM / year. Ummmm that's a lot of money and he brought the title to KU again, he owes them nothing. If Self has a 14-17 record down the road, you think they will remember the loyalty he would show now????

Nice thought but OKC will be getting the Supersonic franchise and I believe they just hired P.J. Carlesimo last year.

Roy Williams doesn't go back to Kansas. He's currently at the mecca of college basketball, a place that also happens to be his alma mater. He's at Carolina until he retires or is fired. Although it was kind of toolish to wear the Jayhawk at that game.
