Fans will be able to have their photo taken with the trophy, but the one rule to follow: don’t touch it.
The 26.5-inches tall trophy is made from 24K gold, bronze and stainless steel and can take three months to create. A new trophy is made each year so the championship-winning team can display it on campus.
