Ball State losing its athletic director

Ball State athletic director Tom Collins has announced that he will leave the university after this school year.

In a statement from the university, Collins said he will continue until his contract ends June 30, and then he and his wife will return to Arizona to be nearer to their family.

“Tom has been committed to Ball State athletics since his arrival,” Ball State president Jo Ann Gora said in the statement. “I appreciate his hard work and service to the university.”

Collins was named athletic director in December 2005.

Ball State plans to form a search committee to find Collins’ replacement.
