Loyola and DePaul University have been divided for years, not just by the 11 CTA stops that separate them, but by their athletics fanbases.
DePaul is part of the Big East Conference, while Loyola plays almost all sports in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) except men’s volleyball. The Big East is one of the largest and most influential conferences in the NCAA and is part of the “Power Six,” in basketball.
As a result, DePaul typically hosts opponents in the “Power Six” conferences — the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big-10, Big-12, the Pacific-12 Conference, Big East and the Southeastern Conference.
