Kansas students who ate lunch on campus at The Underground received a pleasant surprise on Thursday afternoon.

They didn't have to pay for their meal.

Kansas coach Bill Self and a handful of other Jayhawks coaches showed up at the popular campus food court around 12 p.m. CST and started buying everyone's food. Self also shook hands and posed for pictures with dozens of students before returning to his preparation for Monday's season-opening exhibition game.

Word of Self's presence spread quickly among Kansas students. By the time Self left, he and the other Kansas coaches spent about $1,500, according to The University Daily Kansan.

As the students said, that's a great gesture by Self and the other Kansas coaches. A man who has won 10 straight Big 12 titles doesn't need to resort to buying lunches to ingraciate himself to the student body, but Self is generous enough to do it anyway.
