Origins During his freshman year, Collins agreed to appear on Ball State University's campus newscast in place of the regular sportscaster. The teleprompter was operational, but an inexperienced operator accidentally fast-forwarded through the script, leaving Collins with no choice but to ad-lib most of his script.
