Don't think the academy goal would hold up to many dunks!
Big difference in those and even the "cheap" portable ones for "light" institutional use -

The Hydra-RIB 1100 is raised and lowered by its own self-contained hydraulic system that operates at a comfortable 2000 p.s.i. to allow the backboard to be raised from the stored position to "combat ready" in seconds. When it's time to move a Hydra-RIB 1100, the fold down is just as quick and simple. All this and more is done by the mere push of a button.

Guys , I think he was joking about the Academy goals.
And that academy goal looks like it would do.
Heck, I'd even donate the sand to fill up the base.
