so it can secure an auto bid. A10 Lacrosse Conference could look like this: Richmond, St. Joe's, St. Bonn, UMass, NJIT, Cleveland St, and/or Hampton (plus any other lacrosse-only members you want to add to the mix).

Now where things get interesting is with the CAA which could benefit the ACC. UMass leaves the CAA and the CAA loses its auto bid. Although the CAA could add Hampton to fill the void left by UMass. I am not sure if any other CAA schools are looking to add men's lacrosse or not. Could the ACC and CAA merge into 1 conference? Another possibility is that Denver (Big East), Air Force (SoCon), Bellarmine (SoCon), Detroit Mercy (MAAC), Cleveland State (Ind), and someone(s) else could look to form a midwestern conference. If that happens the Big East and maybe the SoCon (depending on what happens with Richmond) would lose their auto bids. Could the ACC merge with either conference?
