The NCAA also builds two floors exactly alike for the Final 4 (the second one is set up in Bracket Town, which operates during Final 4 week in the host city each year).
At the conclusion of the tournament the winning school is given the option of buying one or both of these floors. Most do; some schools install them in practice facilities and some others have cut up the floors and sold pieces of them as mementos.
One of the floors from a championship site where DUKE won a title is still in use at the Emily Krzyzewski Center in Durham, NC.
