[2] DePaul and the other six Catholic, non-FBS schools announced on December 15, 2012, their separation to eventually form a new conference that would carry the Big East name in 2013.

[5] The origin of the Blue Demons nickname dates back to 1907 when the university changed its name from St. Vincent's College to its current form.

The "blue" was part of an attempt to distinguish the university's players from those of its now-defunct high school, DePaul Academy.

[4] A member of the Big East Conference, DePaul University sponsors teams in six men's and seven women's NCAA sanctioned sports.

The team currently plays their home games at Wintrust Arena adjacent to the McCormick Place convention center.

[8] DePaul's NCAA women's basketball team has reached the Sweet 16 multiple times in the program's history.

[10] Since 2011, the head coach of Wisconsin's softball program is former Blue Demon second-baseman Yvette Healy.

Former DePaul All-American pitcher Tracie Adix-Zins returned to Lincoln Park to lead the softball program as head coach just before the start of the 2019 season.

[11][12] DePaul offers a number of other intercollegiate club athletic teams under its Department of Campus Recreation.

They practice and host their home matches at Midtown Athletic Club Chicago, the largest indoor tennis facility in the country.

In recent years, the club has taken a lead role in helping to develop the Chicago Tennis on Campus community of schools.

The Blue Demons practice and play their home matches at the Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreation Center.
