Bill Self, of the newly crowned National Champion Kansas Jayhawks, has turned down Oklahoma State.  Stank-0 wrote about this here. 

For those not in the know, Oklahoma State University has a billionaire booster, T. Boone Pickens.  Pickens famously donated $165M to the school.  Self could have easily been the highest paid college basketball coach, and only a few college football coaches would have been higher compensated. 

 Now Stank-0 being a Kansas alum is clearly biased in this instance, but Kansas would still have been Kansas if Self had chosen to take the OSU position.  Larry Brown is available and he has stated his regret at leaving.  If not Brown, then the living legend, Danny Manning, is actual on the coaching staff at Kansas right now. 

This also signifies that the days of a 20+ year head coach are over.  There are very few coaching institutions save Coach K, Coach Roy, and Jim Boeheim.  Expect Self to leave after about 8-10 seasons in Lawrence.
