Title: NCAA Courts
Post by: T-Bone on March 19, 2009, 08:02:25 PM

It seemed odd that I couldn't really figure out where anyone was playing since all the damn courts look the same this year (or did they do this last year too??).

Anyway found some info if anyone else has this question.

Better than this though:

Thought the same thing although the one in Philly was the normal floor with some doctoring.

I was thinking the same thing. Poor choice making them all look alike.

The Journal Sentinel never provides anything useful, it sucks!

I'm glad they got rid of the vinyl stickers though.

And I'm glad we don't have to look at Boise State's hideous court graphics:

Those are horrible--really distracting. I think they changed it this year though. Doesn't Boise State now have just one giant horse head at mid-court?

Horse head bookends.

OK...

So the NCAA decides not to have vinyl stickers all over the floors because players and coaches complaining about slipping. So instead, they buy a bunch of new floors to have installed at these various arenas so that they can have the NCAA logos painted directly on the floors.

Seriously, does the NCAA think that its brand matters that much that it is *essential* for it to be on the playing surface on every floor?

I know that a good playing floor goes for around $150,000...and I think that's on the cheap end. Now, I know they are selling them back and they got a good deal, but still.
