Wow, this would be horrible. Especially if the BE lost both Nova and UCONN let along either one.

Duke is not a powerhouse, but since 2012 they have played in seven bowl games.
They would have no reason to leave the ACC with the current situation.

I have a hard time seeing Duke coming to the BE when the B10, SEC, and B12 will all probably be trying for them as well. If conferences are going after Nova (bball only), they sure as hell are going to be going after Duke too.

It's interesting to me that the B12, a conference that I would assume wants to be all in on f ball, would want to add 2-3 b ball only schools. I obviously have no idea what the financials are, but it seems relatively likely they would be the lowest earners of the conference since they are b ball only, and b ball makes way less than f ball does. Wonder why the f ball schools would want to divide the total $$$ by more teams when they wouldn't contribute as much.

Even with the AAC teams they are adding, the Big12 will still be a sub-standard football conference. I don't see why any network would shell out $32 mil per school for that brand of football. Unless it was Texas or Ok, and they're both leaving, I'm pretty sure I've never watched a Big12 fb game.

I don't disagree, but that doesn't change the fact that their new TV deal is going to be a much larger payout for each school. I'm just somewhat surprised they would want to eat into that for 2-3 schools that probably wouldn't change the final number that much.

Gonzaga may join the B12 but I’d be surprised if any BE teams did. The B12 won’t be around in 10 years. It may end sooner. Why leave a basketball centric successful conference for a hybrid that may implode at any time?
