- NCAA. Olivia Dunne shares her final revealing video before TikTok ban in America
- NCAA. Olivia Dunne stars in new commercial with YouTube sensation, Jake Paul
Olivia Dunne has been navigating a sea of tumultuous emotions, but the stars seem to be aligning in her particular sky. On December 19, Instagram was her lifeline, where she wove a constellation of posts, revealing with each brushstroke the reason for her fervor.
USA had closed the doors to TikTok, its digital kingdom of 8.1 million followers, under Biden's reign. But in a twist of fate as poetic as the changing seasons, on December 20, with Trump's return to power, the veil of the ban was lifted.
His NIL ranking had already been dropping since December. But out of nowhere, his score jumped, perhaps due to a bug in the NIL system. Although things seem to be calming down now, he still hasn't gotten rid of all his problems.
The TikTok effect has worked; is it a NIL bug?
January 20th was a special day for Olivia Dunne with the return of TikTok, and she received some good news as she moved up a few notches in the NIL rankings: after falling from second place in November to seventh place in December 2024, Olivia has regained ground and returned to fourth place with a value of $4.2 million.
Arch Manning is the leader with $6.6 million, followed by Carson Beck and Cooper Flagg. Olivia is the top female athlete in the NIL and the only woman in the top 20, while Shedeur Sanders has unexpectedly dropped out of the top 100, according to the On3 portal.
Many unknowns with the ranking, to the point that there is talk that there is an error, we will see if there is news in this case. Quinn Ewers, who was at number 4 with a valuation of 4.5 million dollars, is no longer in the top 100. The two drops are surprising. This has caused quite a debate among s on social media.
Is her favorite platform coming back, but will it stay in NIL?
With Donald Trump becoming President of the United States, the future is uncertain and the question is whether Trump would change this rule, affecting how schools handle NIL payments and securing his position.
The Title IX NIL equity policy under Biden could affect their revenue leadership. With no new contracts and little time left in the NCAA season, their rise is uncertain. Olivia Dunne, in her final year at LSU after graduating in 2024 thanks to a COVID eligibility extension, is looking for another championship. Her NIL ranking is fourth, close to third, with a chance to move up if the leaders fall.
