How this was measured
- Members. Colleges that report the Pacific West 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.
