On July 1, 2021, the world of college sports changed dramatically when the Supreme Court made a decision that forever changed the economics of college sports. Student-athletes couldn’t make money from their skills for more than one hundred years, stuck in a system that made billions while leaving them broke. Everything changed overnight when the Name, Image, and Likeness (Nil) program was put in place.
Imagine being a famous player who draws huge crowds, raises money for your school through TV ads, and gets people excited about sports, but you can’t make any money from your success. For many years, that was the truth for college athletes. The Nil policy broke those rules, making it possible for students to make money off of their sports skills and personal brands.
The effects were felt right away and were very deep. Student players could get endorsement deals, make friends on social media,...

Lsu gymnast and major influencer Olivia Dunne is on team Simone Biles.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Dunne said Biles is back with a vengeance.
“Simone has always been a Goat (greatest of all-time), and I think that this is, like, her revenge tour. What happened in (2021) was a freak thing, and I think that she is out for revenge,” Dunne said. “She’s gonna probably win.”
Dunne is referring to Biles’ last Olympics, when she had to drop out because of a case of the ‘twisties’ – where a gymnast’s mind and body fall out of sync.
Biles is leading the veteran Team USA women’s gymnastics team, which includes Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles, along with newcomers Hezly Rivera, Joscelyn Roberson and Leanne Wong.
