LSU is home to some of the biggest names in college sports, including Livvy Dunne and Flau’jae Johnson, and on Wednesday night, the spotlight was on them at the premiere of The Money Game. The highly anticipated six-part docuseries, produced by LSU alumnus and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, is set to drop on Amazon Prime on September 10. It chronicles the groundbreaking impact of the NCAA’s decision to grant Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights to student-athletes, focusing on the 2023-2024 athletics season at LSU.
The show has generated significant buzz since its preview was released, with fans eagerly awaiting the inside look at how NIL has transformed college sports.
Livvy Dunne and former LSU basketball star Angel Reese have been teasing the docuseries for weeks, dropping cryptic hints and messages to build excitement. While Reese was notably absent from the premiere, Dunne stole the show on the purple and gold carpet at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
She dazzled in an elegant black dress that had heads turning, perfectly embodying her status as one of the most recognizable student-athletes in the country.
Dunne wasn’t the only one making a fashion statement. Flau’jae Johnson, the LSU basketball star and rapper, joined Dunne at the premiere, rocking a chic miniskirt with a modern schoolgirl-inspired outfit.
Together, the two showcased their fashion-forward styles while celebrating the groundbreaking series that highlights the changing landscape of college athletics.
Videos from the event surfaced online, capturing the excitement and energy of the night. The purple and gold carpet was packed with stars, and LSU’s premier athletes were clearly enjoying their moment in the spotlight.
Earlier that day, Dunne, who has embraced the jet-setting lifestyle that her newfound NIL fame and fortune afford her, joked about her glamorous life on social media. Much of her success is tied directly to the NIL rule changes, which have allowed her to become one of the most successful student-athletes both on and off the mat. Her story is central to The Money Game, which will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how athletes like Dunne have navigated this new era in college sports.
If the premiere is any indication, The Money Game is shaping up to be a must-watch for sports fans and anyone interested in the intersection of sports, fame, and business.
With star power like Dunne and Johnson leading the charge, the docuseries promises to deliver an exciting and insightful look at how NIL is reshaping the future of college athletics.
