The team formerly known as the IUPUI Jaguars officially changed its athletic identity to the IU Indy Jaguars on July 1, 2024 as Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis separated into two independent institutions, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis.[3] With Indiana University (IU) retaining most of the former joint venture, the athletic program remains with IU.
