LAWRENCE | Now the celebration can really begin. Kansas coach Bill Self said this afternoon at a press conference that he will stay at KU to try to win a second national championship with the Jayhawks.</p><p>Self met with Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder on Wednesday night for two hours at a hotel in Johnson County. Self slept on what he heard from his alma mater and decided today to stay at KU.</p><p>Neither KU athletic director Lew Perkins nor Self would discuss any details of Self’s new contract extension. Both said the details would likely be settled within the next few weeks. Self did offer that “it would be fair to say” that he got the security that he has been asking for."</p><p>“There was never serious interest on our part of leaving the University of Kansas,” said Self, who had three years left on a deal that paid him $1.375 million per year. “There was serious interest in listening (to Oklahoma State) and hopefully helping Oklahoma State University in a way that would put their basketball program in a position they want to be in. I came to the conclusion that I felt all along, that the time is right for my family to be in Lawrence, Kansas, and lead this program hopefully to bigger and better things in the future.”
