Report: Duke and UNC to SEC?

 ((ht: dukebasketballreport.com))

You know, on April fools day, we feel a bit reluctant to report on something that is borderline incredulous to believe.

But on some levels, it sort of makes some sense.

The website "DukeBasketballReport" is reporting that the SEC is prepared to cut the heart out of the ACC...and it could happen really soon.

They quote sources that tell them the SEC is preparing to pilfer both Duke and North Carolina within the next few days.

And yes, like we said, we know this is April Fools day, so we are a bit skeptical. And if this site is pulling everyone's collective leg...well, them's fightin words.

So...what do you think? On several levels, it would make sense. They are the two basketball "Powers" in the conference. And with the expanded ACC Footprint, they lose some identity. Sure, in football, Duke at least is over-matched. But North Carolina isn't.

But according to the story and it would be the only way something like this makes any sense for both schools, the SEC and commissioner Mike Slive, is that it is a basketball move, a move to help balance Kentucky and Florida who, realistically, have been the only 2 reasonably good teams in the conference for several years.

In the meantime, the jury is out on this one...
