Also beyond that, if you can sell it for a chunk of money upfront, even if you can make more by selling it in pieces, you have to account for the costs to manage the inventory\sales of those pieces, and the time spent by whatever staff gets assigned to that duty. Easier just to let someone else figure out those logistics
If I had to guess, I bet the athletic department bought the floor that was used for the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament in Des Moines.
I don't have any hard evidence, but it seemed to me that there was a lot of non-contact slipping this season. It felt like in every home game, there were one or two plays where someone would turn the ball over because they lost their footing.
Does anyone have a link to the court being replaced in 2020 (other than the reference in the sale link posted in the OP)? I can only find things from when it was replaced in 2010 and resurfaced to the current design in 2014.
My wish, that I probably won't get, is that they go back to solid cardinal lanes. It's just never looked right to me since 2014 when they did the redesign.

I can say this with certainty, they did not buy the court. One was bid out last fall.
I have heard we are doing multiple old school logos placed between the 3 point lines. They’ll be called ‘hot spots’ with made shots being worth 4 to 9 points depending on location. Could get very interesting.
OR what if the WeWill did that.....and resold it...BOOM.
Although...unfortunately the "history" for this time frame isn't tons of history for ISU bball.
This was done in 2020 and I’m assuming everyone that wanted to buy has bought..
Swap out the conference logos and we will soon be watching Momcilovic draining threes from the roller coaster on this very floor.
Maybe they will mark the spot on the court where Jay Bowe famously forgot his shoes or where Randy was trampled and broke his leg.
At the WeWill/CF signing day thing they had pieces of the 10-20 floor for auction with a signed ball and floor tickets to a game, I proudly have a piece of that floor in my living room thanks to that event.
The athletic department hasn't done anything non-traditional with the floor before, I fully expect a very low key design but would be pumped if there was a state of Iowa outline/shape involved with the half court logo or something similar.
