| '''[[Florida A&M University]]'''{{efn|group=former|Florida A&M left the MEAC completely for two seasons from 1984 to 1985 to 1985–86 and competed as an NCAA D-I Independent after a disagreement with the MEAC office over the playing of the rivalry game between Florida A&M and Bethune–Cookman University when FAMU refused to play conference mate BCU at a neutral site in Tampa in 1983 and the game was not played again in 1984. Florida A&M returned all sports to the MEAC effective the 1986–87 school year (with football returning later on, effective the 1987–88 school year). FAMU football left the conference after the 2003 fall season (2003–04 school year) during an attempt to move up to [[NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision|Division I-A]] (now FBS) with all other sports remaining in the MEAC. Financial difficulties halted the move after the 2004 fall season (2004–05 school year), at which time FAMU football returned back to the MEAC during the 2005 fall season (2005–06 school year).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://onnidan.com/03-04/news/july/famu0721.htm |title=Onnidan News |publisher=Onnidan.com |date=July 21, 2003 |access-date=July 19, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304101929/http://onnidan.com/03-04/news/july/famu0721.htm |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>}}
