Aaron Torres Podcast: Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC? Bryce Young NIL + Olympian Annie Kunz joins the show!

We have ourselves a LOADED Aaron Torres Pod. Aaron talks about the wild Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC rumors (and why the move is more complicated than most realize) and Nick Saban saying his QB has made “ungodly” money in the NIL market. Then, Olympian Annie Kunz joins the show.

Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC: Aaron opens the show by discussing the wild Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC rumors (2:30). He explains why, while there are a number of obvious reasons that the rumors make sense, there are also a lot of hurdles that stand in the way of the two joining the league? Would SEC schools object? Would politicians stand in the way? And what does Oklahoma gain by joining the better league?

Nick Saban NIL comments, Dabo on the playoff + Bobby Bowden: From there, Aaron quickly wraps around a couple other news and notes from college football. He discusses Nick Saban saying his quarterback has made “ungodly” money in the NIL game and what it means for the rest of college sports (23:00), Dabo’s comments on the playoffs (32:00) and the news that legendary Florida State coach Bobby Bowden is not in good health (34:00).

Olympian Annie Kunz joins the show: Finally, with the Summer Olympics kicking off Friday, Aaron welcomes in Olympian Annie Kunz to the show, who will be competing in the heptathlon in Tokyo this summer (38:00). The two discuss what it is like the moment you know you’ve qualified for the Olympics, what it’s like to prepare four years for one track meet and how Covid actually helped her career. Also, how often does an Olympic athlete get to sit back, relax and actually have a beer? We have the answer in this fun, wide ranging interview.
