I'm sure it's more than just the court itself. Infrastructure, like hvac, ventilation will probably need upgrading (this is an assumption).

Have to wonder what the hammer falling on Wade is going to look like. Perhaps Murray liked LSU enough to feel comfortable committing there even if Wade is gone. A one-season tournament ban wouldn't have any impact on Murray, he'll still be in his prep year.
