Olivia Dunne continues to take giant steps forward in her already bejeweled career. Soon after winning her maiden NCAA title, the college sensation scored big in another aspect of her life. While it is no secret that NIL deals and Olivia Dunne are a match made in heaven, the recent development is quite staggering. Teaming up with Passes.com, Livvy Dunne has landed a multi-millionaire deal with the social platform. 

Lucy Guo’s platform aims to help influencers and creators monetize and sell their content to stabilize their financial flow. However, every silver lining does have a dark cloud lurking in the distance. Likewise, as soon as Dunne posted about her new engagement, a fan decided to mock her by being sarcastic.

Well, Dunne’s justification was on point because there’s a reason why Passes.com chose Olivia Dunne as their debutant face in the NCAA circuit. Elaborating on the decision, Lucy Guo opined, College athletes have some of the most engaged superfans. Livvy is a powerful example of female entrepreneurship in the evolving NIL landscape and this partnership aims to help close the wage gap for female athletes while empowering them to build their own brands.”

After teaming up with each other in NIL deals like the Leaf Trading Cards, Dunne and Elena Arenas are once again on the same platform. Arenas is an LSU senior and has competed in the Elite seasons in 2014 and 2015. While in college, Dunne and Arenas developed a strong bond of sisterhood. Much like Dunne, Arenas too has a significant social media presence. 

While Dunne has 5 million people following her on Instagram, Arenas has a moderate 191k following. In the changing dynamics of the NCAA, both Dunne and Arenas shine bright as the perfect second fiddle to each other. Now with an even bigger project on the line, it remains to be seen how well the duo can recreate their earlier magic.
