FOUNDER’S LEGACY - DEBO CLARK

A Visionary Start

In 1982, Debo Clark founded Collegiate Sports Travel with a simple goal: help college athletic programs manage travel efficiently and affordably. With experience in the hotel industry and support from Auburn coaches Joe Ciampi and Mack McCarthy, she created a service that grew to support 300+ athletic programs nationwide.

A Pioneer and Trailblazer

In 2009, Debo became the only woman and non-coach ever to receive the Texas Coaching Legend Award—joining icons like Bum Phillips, Darrell Royal, and Gene Stallings. It was one of the proudest moments of her career. “This is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my career.” – Debo Clark

A Legacy That Endures

After her passing in 2011, coaches from across the country honored Debo not just as a business leader, but as a mentor, friend, and part of their extended family. Her unforgettable quotes—affectionately called “Deboisms”—are still celebrated today. Debo didn’t build a business, she created a family.”
Today, CST proudly carries forward Debo’s legacy – putting relationships first, delivering flawless travel experiences, and serving college athletics with integrity and heart.
