Self waiting to see what KU’s offer will be
- KU needs to step up and make decision for Self
- KU coaching records: First five years
- FINAL FOUR VOICES
- COLLEGE NOTES: Some in Lawrence miss end of game
- KU’s Rush isn’t ready to announce decision on draft
- Kansas-Memphis championship game to be replayed on ESPN Classic
- Jayhawks will look very different next season
Which team is the greatest in Jayhawk history?
“I think that’s a dangerous precedent here,” Kivisto said. “Is this good for college basketball?”
While Kivisto is trying to stay away from the battleground, a Kansas alum who lives in Denver and asked to remain anonymous is hoping to start a grassroots campaign to help KU pay Self what he deserves. He pledged to The Star that he would pay $10,000 for the next 20 years to keep Self in Lawrence. He hopes that others would do the same.
“It is about the power of many versus the power of one,” said the alum. “I think that some sort of grassroots campaign would show Bill Self that there’s a big difference between Lawrence, Kansas, and the culture in Stillwater.”
Of course, if Self likes what he hears from Perkins, such measures may not be needed.
“I have the best job,” Self said. “I have tradition and history and I love the people I work with, and it’s a great place to recruit to.”
