While every coach of a good team’s goal is to set up a non-conference schedule that can put it in contention for an NCAA Tournament at-large spot, there also is the often overlooked financial element of putting together such a schedule. For a single-game series, there is typically a payout involved from the home team to the visitor. For home-and-home series, payouts typically don’t exist. The more money teams have in their budget, the more home games they can buy during non-conference play.

I seem to recall that this was a big issue with Will Wade when he was still at VCU. He wanted the budget increased to buy more games or better teams.
