March Madness winners keep the winning

We're all familiar with the shot of the winning coach snipping the net from the rim; it's a symbolic moment that caps off March Madness, and up until 1986 it was really all the NCAA allowed the team to keep.

Some schools have repainted it and used the hardwood for their own home court, while others have sold the court in pieces, and others have done nothing at all with it.
