Why are some of the bigger schools such pussies about scheduling?

I have season tickets to UNR (Nevada)- each year they struggle to complete their schedule. It seems that few good schools want to come to Reno to play. They signed a home and home with North Carolina this season, but have to go their twice for one home game.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, when it comes to school that are good but not well known, the big school has nothing to gain. If they win, nobody cares, so they might as well have played a team that sucks that would be a guaranteed win.

I'm not sure how difficult/expensive it is to travel to Reno, but travel costs/time comes into play a lot as well.

In general, larger schools don't travel to smaller schools. They want the guaranteed win and the money that comes from hosting a game.
