That post lost credibility with me when he suggested the SEC would look at adding Duke if rebuffed by North Carolina and N.C. State.

The SEC is going to add schools that look like 13/14 teams in the league (land grant-style, large public universities with rich alumni bases and a large interest in football). A private school with pathetic football support, facilities and history, and a small, basketball-centric alumni base is not going to rev the expansion engine.

Kentucky will allow Louisville in no more than Florida will allow Florida State in or South Carolina will allow Clemson in. To speak nothing of the SEC pursuing a city-based school.

Hell, if the SEC is going to chase a private school, there are a lot of roads it would approach before going to Duke. Even SMU would be more attractive.
