Founders
The concept of the College Bowling Athletic Association was in the mind of Mark Jeffreys for a number of years.  It wasn't until December 22nd, 2024 in Las Vegas that Jeffreys had a meeting with Dallas Baptist Head Bowling Coach, Jonathan Beyer and sought Beyer's opinion if this would make College Bowling better for all involved. 

 

Jeffreys pitched the concept of school vs. school college bowling, three period, home and away games with conference structure, involving singles, doubles and Baker team action, making college bowling better for all parties involved.  After a three hour meeting close to the Racing Book of the Southpoint Hotel in Las Vegas, Jeffreys and Beyer were all in, creating the concept of making college bowling better.
