Michigan State basketball is big business. Never was that more obvious than Friday morning outside of the Michigan State University Surplus Store. Hundreds of people lined up to purchase a piece of the Breslin Center practice court floor.
The pieces of floor sold for $20 a chunk and weighed north of 80-pounds each. But the weight did nothing to slow down potential buyers. Not only did the floor pieces sell out, but the Surplus Store had to limit each customer to no more than 10 pieces.
The school is selling off the floor as a part of major renovations planned for the Breslin Center.
