==History==
IUPUIIU Indianapolis first sponsored [[intercollegiate athletics]] in 1972, when the men's [[college basketball|basketball]] team began play as the IUPUI Metros. Women's sports were first sponsored in 1975, when the women's basketball, [[college softball|softball]], and [[volleyball]] teams first competed. In 1978, the Metros joined the [[National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics|NAIA]]. They joined [[NCAA Division II]] in 1993 and moved up to [[NCAA Division I]] in 1997. Also in 1997, IUPUI joined the Mid-Continent Conference (now known as the [[Summit League]]), and officially changed their nickname to the Jaguars. In 2000, the men's [[College soccer in the United States|soccer]] team became the first Jaguar team to compete in an NCAA tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iupuijags.com/Media/MSOC_2006.pdf |title=Archived copy |website=www.iupuijags.com |access-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928121042/http://www.iupuijags.com/Media/MSOC_2006.pdf |archive-date=28 September 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
