Episode 65: Shawn Tucker

EP. 65 "For Tuck, For Tuck" (Shawn Tucker)

The Scarlet Spotlight is pleased to be joined by former Rutgers football wide receiver and athletic administrator, and current NJCU athletic director Shawn Tucker. The 2007 RU graduate discusses his time On the Banks under Greg Schiano, including an emotional 2006 season when he missed most of the historic run following a broken ankle. Tucker also touches on his work at NJCU as an AD, and how he's addressing the current social climate with his colleagues and the athletes in his programs. After the interview, Danny and Jon take a chunk of time to cover the Big Ten's decision to start the football season on October 24 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and the implications for the University, the conference and the NCAA.
