College bowling is full of talented student athletes.  But has the past and present competitive structures of college bowling become better for the student athletes over the last fifty years? 

Right now, teams travel to huge events with dozens of schools, very little head-to-head matchups, and spend a tremendous amount of money for the current college bowling events.  Some talented student athletes earn very little playing time due to the current maximum of eight players per team and some of those eight players might earn minimal fill shots in and eight hour tournament day.  Could college bowling become better for all involved in the sport, including the student athletes, colleges and fans? 

We have an opportunity—to give student-athletes more meaningful competition, reduce travel costs, and create a season that makes economic sense for schools. Imagine a system built around conference games, school verses school, where every match matters, and the top teams earn their spot in a 64-team National Championship that combines Singles, Doubles, and Baker team action.

What if?  What if we could make College Bowling Better?  Is the current college bowling format better for the student athletes, colleges and the fans?
 

Today, I introduce to you how college bowling can become better and finally compete in a school versus school conference format, similar to other college sports.

Conferences across the nation, competing in a structured, school versus school, three period matches, featuring singles, doubles and Baker team action.  Total pins wins.

This isn’t just a better format—it’s a better experience for athletes, fans, and schools alike.
