Is there a reason basketball doesn't (or can't) try to bring some bigger teams to town with a 2-and-1 (or even a 3-and-1)?

Re: Why no big home games?
In this situation, you have a Mid Major (FAU) trying to bring in Non-Conference teams that we can beat and help the overall record. We have to pay these teams to come here, and since the budget is not BIG to begin with we can't really "afford" to bring in BIG name schools. PLUS, we want WINS. It is VITAL that you win Non-Conference games because that looks HUGE come tournament time when teams are hoping for automatic bids. Also, we can't afford to pay a team like Syracuse, they would break the budget, and then we would probably get a spanking in return. SO, not only do we lose money but we also lose a game..and well, lets face it… we don't want to lose any Non-Conference games.
