Basketball doesn't make money. Football makes money they wouldn't take on a program like Duke just because they're good in basketball. They would need to be decent at football. North Carolina makes sense, outside of them I'm not sure anyone else makes as much sense as UNC. They field competitive teams on the football field with devoted fans and they are definitely a Title contender on the Basketball court which doesn't hurt them in getting in, but it wouldn't be based solely on the fact that they are good in basketball.

Duke is a national brand in basketball.

Well, and they are the other half of college basketball's only premiere national rivalry.
