For college gymnast Livvy Dunne, LSU is the perfect place to be.

Dunne, a celebrated athlete from New Jersey, joined the Tigers’ gymnastics team when she enrolled at LSU several years ago. She did so at an excellent time for student-athletes because, thanks to NIL, they can now profit off their own name, image, and likeness. Dunne quickly became a significant earner in this category even while playing an Olympic, non-revenue sport at a Southeastern Conference school.

Dunne and LSU are featured in a new Amazon Prime documentary about NIL at the school. She, Flau’jae Johnson, Jayden Daniels, and others are highlighted in the film. On Wednesday, Johnson, a women’s basketball player and rapper, and Dunne spoke to SiriusXM College about her stay at LSU and how NIL has made it the perfect match for her.

“I think that you have to have your priorities straight to be successful. And I think that LSU is a worldwide-known brand and I just think that it’s a match made in heaven with LSU and NIL,” the LSU athlete said.
