I understand what you're saying...but whether you plan on losing or not is not really relevant.  The school with the better athletes, higher paid coaching staffs and more resources are going to win most of the time.  Yes, if you schedule enough games as underdogs, you'll bit a team here or there.  But in the end, you can't beat those odds on a regular basis. That's why you book one game you can make a statement in, and have a chance to win.  If you're a dog, that's ok. Then you book three wins.
 
I don't think you'd have any trouble getting MAC or Sunbelt teams to play Syracuse if you pay them or gave them a return visit.  I can't believe it's that difficult.  You're telling me Maryland will give Syracuse a home and home but Ohio or Akron won't?  That doesn't make sense.
 
I get what you're saying about the fans, but a string of 8-10 win seasons can change that.  Your fans are conditioned by teams that are not very good and the likelihood that they see a loss.
