BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA: Julz Dunne, sister of Olivia Dunne, has teased a magazine cover featuring Livvy and Angel Reese on Instagram.
In the age of social media, a single Instagram story can send waves of excitement rippling through fan communities, and that's precisely what happened when Julz, sister to LSU athlete Olivia, teased an intriguing reveal on her Instagram account.
'Judging this magazine by its cover'
LSU athletes Olivia Dunne and Angel Reese have not only made a name for themselves in the field but are also leading the way in the world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Their remarkable achievements and financial success have now landed them on the cover of the coveted Sports Illustrated magazine.
Julz Dunne, sibling to LSU athlete Olivia Dunne, recently took to Instagram to tease a special reveal that had followers buzzing with anticipation.
With the cryptic message 'Judging this magazine by its cover', Julz revealed "The Money Issue" of Sports Illustrated that not only celebrates the athletic prowess of Dunne and Reese but also delves into the new frontier of NIL deals in college sports.
Both athletes have been instrumental in setting the standard for women in sports when it comes to capitalizing on these opportunities.
Angel Reese, who played a pivotal role in securing LSU's National Championship victory last summer, garnered acclaim for her exceptional performance, earning her the prestigious Final Four Most Outstanding Player award. Her achievements on and off the court have translated into substantial NIL deals, with her estimated worth now standing at an impressive $1.7 million, according to the NIL 100 list.
Olivia Dunne, equally accomplished in her gymnastics career, has notched an astonishing NIL valuation of $3.4 million, further solidifying her status as a leader in the realm of college sports endorsements.
Olivia Dunne reflects on sister Julz Dunne's integral role in crafting her NIL Empire
Olivia recently shed light on the pivotal role played by her older sister, Julz Dunne, in building her empire.
The Dunne siblings have formed a dynamic partnership that extends far beyond their familial bonds. Together, they brainstorm and create captivating content for Olivia's internet posts, often collaborating on videos while Julz handles the editing, ensuring that the content aligns with Olivia's brand and messaging.
Julz Dunne, affectionately referred to as the mastermind behind "Livvy Land," is more than just a sisterly support system; she serves as a salaried employee dedicated to propelling Olivia's NIL endeavors to greater heights. As she continues to foster her sister's online presence, Julz simultaneously cultivates her own social media following, with a mission to assist fellow student-athletes in harnessing the full potential of their NIL.
The speed at which Olivia Dunne seized the opportunities presented by the NIL regulation change in 2021 is nothing short of remarkable. In less than two months following the landmark shift, she made history by becoming the first college athlete to ink a deal with the prestigious WME Sports agency.
