There must be at least as many at-large bids as automatic qualifiers. Next year, the ASUN will push the number of automatic qualifiers to 10. Two play-in games for AQ teams would reduce the number of AQ bids advancing to the first round to 8, equaling the number of at-large teams.

Alternatively, they could add two additional at-large bids and put in a First Four similar to basketball, but I don't see that happening.
