Duke University's 26 varsity sports teams, known as the Blue Devils, compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The name comes from the French "les Diables Bleus" or "the Blue Devils,"〔King, William E. (Why a Blue Devil? ) ''The Duke Dialogue.'' February 28, 1992.〕 which was the nickname given during World War I to the Chasseurs Alpins, the French Alpine light infantry battalion. ==History== The Blue Devils have won sixteen NCAA National Championships. The women's golf team has won six (1999, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2014),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THREE-PEAT: Women's Golf Wins Third Straight National Championship )〕 the men's basketball team has won five (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010, and 2015), men's lacrosse has won three (2010, 2013 and 2014), and the men's soccer (1986) and women's tennis (2009) teams have won one each. Duke's major historic rival, especially in basketball, has been the Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (see ''Duke-Carolina rivalry''). Duke has also captured 119 ACC Championships, 44 of which have come since 1999–2000 (through 2008–09).〔(Duke's ACC Championships. ) ''GoDuke.com'' Retrieved on July 24, 2009.〕 Duke's teams hold the longest streak of consecutive ACC Championships in women's tennis (14), women's golf (13), men's basketball (5), women's basketball (5) and volleyball (4, tied). The men's basketball (18), women's golf (16), and women's tennis (16) lead individual programs, while men's tennis (12), volleyball (9), football (7), men's cross country (7), men's lacrosse (7), men's golf (6), men's soccer (5), women's basketball (5), baseball (3), women's cross country (2) and women's lacrosse (1)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Duke's ACC Championships )〕 have also captured titles. Duke boasts the most ACC Championships in women's golf, women's tennis, and men's basketball; the second most in men's tennis and volleyball; and third most in women's basketball, women's cross country and women's lacrosse. In the past five years, Duke has finished in the top 20 every year in the NACDA Director's Cup, an overall measure of an institution's athletic success. Most recently, Duke has finished 10th (2010),〔()〕 17th (2009),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NACDA OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE - National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics )〕 19th (2008),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NACDA OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE - National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics )〕 11th (2007),〔(Sports Academy Directors' Cup (2007) ).

''National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics'', 2005. Retrieved on January 12, 2007.〕 Duke has the smallest undergraduate enrollment of any institution that has been in the top 35 the past two years.〔〔 Furthermore, Duke is the only school besides Stanford that has finished in the top 20 in the past three years that has fewer than 10,000 undergraduates.〔〔 Duke teams that have been ranked in the top ten nationally in the 2000s include men's and women's basketball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's lacrosse, women's field hockey, and men's and women's golf. Eight of these teams were ranked either first or second in the country during 2004–05.〔(Duke Athletics: Rankings. ) ''GoDuke.com.'' URL accessed June 6, 2006.〕 According to a 2006 evaluation conducted by the NCAA, Duke's student-athletes have the highest graduation rate of any institution in the nation at 91%.〔(Duke 1st in new NCAA evaluation ). ''The Chronicle.'' November 10, 2006.〕 Excluding students who leave or transfer in good academic standing, the graduation rate of student-athletes is 97%.〔(Faculty discuss role of Duke student athletes ). ''The Chronicle.'' November 10, 2006.〕 In 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2011 Duke ranked first among Division I schools in the National Collegiate Scouting Association Power Rankings—a combination of the institution's Director's Cup standing, its athletic graduation rate, and its academic rank in ''U.S. News & World Report.''〔(2005 NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings ).

''National Collegiate Scouting Association,'' 2011. Retrieved on February 12, 2012.〕 There have been allegations that, like most other schools examined such as North Carolina, Duke's graduation rate may be inflated or be a result of athletes gravitating to easier courses and majors, though many have taken issue with such claims.〔().
