With UNC and Duke you get two elite Basketball schools, two AAU school, so the SEC would be the best football conference, very good basketball conference and would have 6 schools that are AAU. (Mizzou, TAMU, Vandy, Florida, UNC, Duke)

What would be the benefit for Duke and UNC?
They would get slaughtered at football and take a big downgrade in basketball. I know there is always money involved so maybe the move would be a big payday for them but outside of having a cupcake basketball schedule it would seem to be a fairly shortsighted move for money to ruin their basketball history.
Although I guess if the move is going to be to 4 superconferences cutting out the ACC and Big East might as well move now than try and fit in after everyone else has moved.
