Oh, come on its college basketball! I think this will be rather interesting to see how this plays out with the elements.

And I get to watch my Spartans :aok

If you read the article, you would have noticed that the promoter is paying the bill, not the govt.

Way to post without even bothering to read the article.

This is pretty damn cool, but won't any seas throw the player's aim off? Then there's the possibility of wind and rain and November temperatures. People play basketball outside, but not in a NCAA game. Still, I'm wishing I was a MSU student right now, I'd be camping out in line for those tickets for sure.

If the promoter actually writes a check to the Navy, I am fine with it. I highly doubt that will be the case.

This. One way or another, we're footing the bill.
