The 27 varsity teams of the Duke Blue Devils include those competing in baseball, basketball, football, and soccer, as well as fencing, golf, swimming, tennis, wrestling, and more.\r\n\r\nWhen the university was known as Trinity College, the sports teams were known as the Trinity Eleven, the Blue and White, and the Methodists. However, an editor of the Trinity Chronicle began calling the teams the Blue Devils in 1922, and the name caught on. The team name originates from the nickname given to a mountain infantry force during World War I.\r\n\r\nDuke University joined the Southern Conference of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/ncaa\/\">NCAA<\/a> (National Collegiate Athletic Association) in 1929 and later became the founder of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1953. Since then, the Blue Devils have become a monolith in the college stage of sports, with several college teams often ranking in the top 10 every year and student-athletes having an excellent graduation rate of 97%.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Established:<\/strong> 1905<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>University:<\/strong> Duke University<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Colors:<\/strong> Duke Blue and White<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Mascot:<\/strong> Blue Devil<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Athletic Director:<\/strong> Kevin White<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Baseball Stadium:<\/strong> Jack Coombs Field<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Basketball Arena:<\/strong> Cameron Indoor Stadium<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Football Stadium:<\/strong> Wallace Wade Stadium<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Soccer Stadium:<\/strong> Koskinen Stadium<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>NCAA Baseball Championships:<\/strong> 0<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>NCAA Basketball Championships:<\/strong> 5<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>NCAA Football Championships:<\/strong> 0<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>NCAA Soccer Championships:<\/strong> 1<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>Featured articles:<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/where-is-dukes-most-hated-man-christian-laettner-now\/\">Where is Duke's Most-Hated Man, Christian Laettner, Now?<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/the-best-duke-basketball-stars-to-make-the-nba\/\">The Best Duke Basketball Stars to Make the NBA<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/when-was-the-last-time-the-duke-blue-devils-missed-the-ncaa-tournament\/\">When Was the Last Time the Duke Blue Devils Missed the NCAA Tournament<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/goduke.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duke Blue Devils<\/a>' team page<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<div class=\"main__top mb--baseline\">\r\n<div class=\"desc--archive-page entry archive-entry\">\r\n<h4><strong>Read the latest articles about the Duke Blue Devils<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","link":"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/duke-blue-devils\/","name":"Duke Blue Devils","slug":"duke-blue-devils","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.9) -
