All ties will be broken in the order in which they occur, from top to bottom, in the standings. When comparing tied teams against positions lower in the standings, TOURNAMENT which are also tied, those lower-tied positions will be considered as a single position for purposes of comparison. (Example: Team A and Team B, who tied for second place, would compare against Team X and Team Y who tied for 6th as follows: Team A would compare its combined record against both X and Y against Team B’s combined record against both X and Y.) 1.

Ex.: If three or more teams are tied for a position, ties will be worked out for each position, top-to-bottom. For example, if teams A, B and C are tied, and team C separates itself from the three waytie and A and B are still tied, then the procedure is repeated for the remaining two teams, A and B.

In his tenure at Ball State, Collins has directed the completion of the Scheumann Stadium renovation, put in place a new five-year gender equity plan and served as a significant member of the university’s senior staff. Pat Joe “It is clear at Ball State the admin- Quinn Hernandez istration has staked out a commitment Associate Associate to the true scholar-athlete model of intercollegiate athletics,” Collins A.D. A.D. says. “Couple that with the university’s and the community’s commitment to providing the student-athletes with outstanding facilities and a supportive atmosphere, and it becomes clear why Ball State has a proud academic and athletic tradition.” Collins heads up a Ball State 19-sport intercollegiate athletics program with a rich tradition in academic and athletic success. Last year’s football team made an appearance in the International Bowl, which was the school’s first bowl berth since 1996, and capped off a 7-6 season, the best record for a Ball State team since the 1996 campaign.

The women’s soccer team won its first-ever MAC Regular-Sea- son Championship in 2006 and repeated the feat in 2007. The women’s basketball team advance to the 2006 WNIT and hosted Kentucky in a first-round game.

Collins also worked with athletic director Sam Jankovich, while at the University of Rob Richards Lori Tomlin Adam Tschuor Miami, and his colleagues through the years include current A.D.’s Jim Director of Director of Director of Livengood (Arizona), Michael Alden (Missouri), Sandy Hatfield Clubb Ticket Operations Business Services Ticket Sales (Drake) and Vic Cegles (Long Beach State).
