  "account": "Duke basketball's exhibition game against Tennessee could bring in more than $200,000, according to recently released documents. The Blue Devils and Volunteers have agreed to split revenue from the game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, with Duke keeping any earnings exceeding $400,000. The contract, signed in May, requires payment to be made within 60 days of the game. The contract doesn't specify a game time or television slot, as the ACC controls the rights, designating them accordingly. Duke holds the radio rights, while Tennessee will secure a radio broadcast and revenue from it. Tennessee will receive 300 free tickets and must provide Duke with video of exhibition games or preseason scrimmages upon request. This marks the second home-and-home exhibition between the teams in two years, following Duke's 83-76 victory in Knoxville last October. The Blue Devils will face Belmont on October 8 and conclude their preseason on the road at Kansas on October 25. Their regular season opener against Army is set for November 2. Anna Snyder, covering Duke for The Fayetteville Observer as part of the USA TODAY Network, contributed to this report.",
