Other Than That, the Story Was Accurate
“We screwed up. And to Tom Collins, we’re sorry. What was reported on this newspaper’s sports pages yesterday and on our Web site for much of the day on Wednesday was wrong. Collins, athletic director at Ball State, did not apply for the AD’s job at Dixie State College. A Tom Collins did apply for that job, but it was a different Tom Collins, not Tom Collins of BSU.”–Greg Fallon, Star Press (Muncie, Ind.), March 11
