I'm curious about Duke and Wake, forgetting about GOR for a minute. Duke is certainly worthy with a huge endowment, academics, AAU so I guess it depends on just how large the two titan conferences want to get. Is it more or less likely UNC would choose to accept an invite without Duke? USC and UCLA are the first combo to be invited from the same market in all of this CR comedy. There is a pecking order in the ACC which can more or less be divided into two tiers for CR purposes:

Clemson
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Miami
UNC
UVA
Duke

VPI
NC State
Syracuse
Pitt
Louisville
Wake Forest
BCU

How about the 9 programs from UVA down through BCU align with the Big East for a 20 team basketball conference and 10 team football conference. It's the old Big East plus Duke, UVA, NC State, and Wake. Not bad. That would be incredible basketball and solid east coast football. Add WVU and Cincy. If not the B1G or SEC, at least the conference would have all regional rivals which is more entertaining than playing programs out west.
