The Scarlet Spotlight is honored to be joined by the Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, for Episode 61 of the podcast. The Governor discussed the multi-faceted approach to the COVID-19 pandemic in NJ, including testing, tracing and phased reopenings of businesses and schools. He discussed the future of athletics crowds in 2020-2021, athletics quarantine exemptions, Rutgers' overall campus reopening plan, social justice protests, Greg Schiano, marijuana legalization and his presidentially-endorsed infrastructure project. After the interview, Danny and Jon recap the discussion, touch on their thoughts about playing college sports this year at all, and note the financial impact of potential cancellations.
