Olivia Dunne just might make a surprise decision in light of the NIL happenings. With Lebron James‘ son Bronny suffering a whopping $800,000 decline in his valuation, the LSU queen might have the chance to surpass the former’s NIL valuation. And the Tigers star is eyeing to make the most of the opportunity, with a special treat for the fans.

In a recent series of her Snapchat story, Dunne showcased her prowess once again. Captioned “still got it,” the short video clips show Livvy practicing her vaults. In a later snap from the same series, Livvy mentioned that something might be on the horizon regarding her future. The image comes with the caption “big announcement Wednesday!” and fans can’t wait what she might be planning. The younger Dunne sister’s prospect of becoming one of the most iconic athletes can still be materialized should she opt to continue her collegiate career for another year.

The reigning SEC champions are currently running high with their first-ever NCAA title win, and Livvy’s departure could be delayed by another year, fans suspect. The matter can be further accentuated by the fact that the national gymnastics sensation is breathing down on the Trojans’ basketball star’s NIL valuation, which has seen a steady decline over the last months for a poor 2023-24 season. His performance was affected by a cardiac arrest on July 24, 2023. Meanwhile, Dunne’s trajectory has only gone upward since her joining the LSU Tigers.

After her and the Tigers’ recent national triumph, Livvy’s possibility of making new deals with brands like Forever 21 and American Eagle can easily see her edge past James’ $5.9million valuation. Fans believe now is the time for her to go all out and firmly establish herself as one of the most financially successful female athletes in NCAA history.

Olivia Dunne hints at more things to come

Olivia will have another year on her hands to return and defend the NCAA title because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Post that, she also has the option to become a sports commentator or a full-time social media influencer. Despite these options, her fans undoubtedly want to see her return to the Tigers’ campus once again so she can definitively proclaim herself as an elite gymnast.

The highest-paid collegiate athlete in the US, Livvy has maintained that she will only opt for deals that feel “just right” to her. In July last year, fans were shocked to learn that Livvy earned 6-figure numbers from just one sponsored post on social media. With that in mind, Olivia’s total earnings can make anyone dizzy. Now that Bronny James is on the decline, this might be the perfect time for Livvy to step up and claim the throne with her chances of continuing her collegiate career presenting another profitable opportunity.
