The median member each year. By default the line follows in every year, so it describes the same colleges throughout; switch to members at the time to see the conference as it was.
Applicants, median member · today's members in every year
Dashed: the median of every four-year college on the site. A year is left out when fewer than 80% of the members report it.

How this was measured
- Members. Colleges that report the Mountain East Conference as their main today. A member playing football elsewhere is listed with its football conference but counted here.
- Medians. Every figure is the median member (counts and costs: the median member's own change), except the totals, which are labeled. A conference needs 8 members on the site, and a year needs 80% of members reporting; costs are .
- Members at the time reads each college's reported conference year by year, from 2014–15; colleges no longer on the site aren't included.
- The universe. The site's four-year colleges, which may not be every member. The page shows how members compare and changed, not why.
