The highly anticipated Duke vs. Michigan basketball game, scheduled for December 21, will take place at loanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, instead of Madison Square Garden. This change follows a broadcast rights dispute after Duke announced a deal with Amazon. Both schools agreed to the move to maintain the matchup amid territorial TV rights complications involving Fox, who has rights tied to Big Ten games. Final steps are needed to finalize the venue and contracts, but sources indicate the shift to the baseball stadium is nearly confirmed.
