Jimmy Collins gets apology from Bruce Pearl

"The truth of the matter was it was fine. It was a guy who had gone through some changes, and as he's gotten older, he realized some things were wrong, and he apologized for it."

Collins said he accepted the apology and has moved on.

"I let it go," Collins said. "There's nothing I can do with what happened then. I'm not going around with a lot of hate in my heart. I'm not going to hold a grudge all your life."
