UA produces $50K from old athletic gear

The UA’s “Surplus Property Office” sold 575 items, old athletic gear of every conceivable type, in an online auction Oct. 14. It produced more than $50,000 in revenue for shoes, socks, shoulder pads, jerseys, you name it. A set of old UA football shoulder pads received the highest price, at $650. A 1989, full-sized poster of Sean Elliott, went for $200. A box of white UA basketball “CATS” game pants went for $500. Too bad it couldn’t sell a piece of the goal posts, torn down in 1982, when Arizona shocked ASU 28-18 to knock the Sun Devils out of the Rose Bowl. At an SEC school, those things can go for $1,000 per foot.
