Not really. People in NC are going to be watching Clemson, South Carolina, NC State, or to a lesser degree UNC during football season. Duke doesn't rate. You might get a good TV audience airing ECU because of the alumni in CLT or even in the triangle. Virginia and Virginia Tech also have significant followings in the state.
The landscape is already crowded for football. Duke isn't going to pull TVs in that aren't already watching the SEC. It is very very very far fetched that the SEC would give Duke a minute's thought.
