A private school with pathetic football support, facilities and history, and a small, basketball-centric alumni base is not going to rev the expansion engine.

Kentucky will allow Louisville in no more than Florida will allow Florida State in or South Carolina will allow Clemson in. To speak nothing of the SEC pursuing a city-based school.

Hell, if the SEC is going to chase a private school, there are a lot of roads it would approach before going to Duke. Even SMU would be more attractive.
Duke offers absolutely nothing to the SEC. There is zero chance that the SEC asks them to join.
