The Duke basketball program’s reported battle with powerhouse Kansas early next season seems to be part of a larger event in the works.
When Duke basketball was first reported to be matching up with fellow blueblood program Kansas next season, fans of both sides were excited to see the two programs set up for an early season showdown.While some fans questioned the decision to play the game at a neutral site in Las Vegas rather than a home-and-home series in the historic Cameron Indoor Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse, it appears that decision was ultimately for a greater reason.
The report comes after rumors earlier in the year of a potential NIL-focused multi-team event that would showcase some of the biggest brands in the sport, likely including powerhouses such as Duke and Kansas, facing off for added NIL prizes. Sources: The Duke/Kansas event in Las Vegas will be tied to an overarching MTE, hosted by ESPN. More information is expected soon.Duke and Kansas are no strangers to facing one another, with plenty of recent matchups facilitated by the early season Champions Classic that also includes Kentucky and Michigan State.
But if these reports end up being true, it seems the two sides could have a little extra to play for this time around. In his first season as Duke basketball head coach, Jon Scheyer and his Blue Devils fell to Bill Self's Jayhawks, 69-64, in Indianapolis as part of the 2022 Champions Classic.
