Livvy Dunne, Jayden Daniels & Angel Reese Star In Trailer For LSU NIL Docuseries ‘The Money Game’

Perhaps no one is a greater reflection of the power of the NCAA’s name, image and likeness movement than LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne. Her ascent has been meteoric and nothing short of staggering. In a few short years, Dunne has gone from relative obscurity to Instagram smoke show to multi-millionaire national champion to dating fellow Tiger/current Pirates superstar pitcher Paul Skenes.

Amazon had the brilliant idea to produce a documentary series titled The Money Game at the Baton Rouge-based university to capture Dunne’s life behind the scenes, as well as the storylines surrounding the school’s other most prominent athletes.

LSU is perhaps most known for its college football atmosphere, and other than Joe Burrow, reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels is the most notable signal-caller to emerge from the powerhouse SEC program in my lifetime. Daniels was the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and is in line to start for the Washington Commanders this season.

What a fortunate turn of events for Amazon to be following Daniels around and documenting his rather surprising explosion of a Heisman season. Prior to the 2023 campaign, Daniels wasn’t viewed as some slam-dunk first-round QB prospect. However, his greatness in his final year at LSU was undeniable, and now he carries the hopes of an entire NFL franchise on his shoulders.

We couldn’t get a trailer for an LSU NIL docuseries without some sort of spiciness behind the scenes regarding basketball star Angel Reese. She helped the Tigers to a national title during the 2022-23 season. Unfortunately, she ran into the buzzsaw that was Caitlin Clark at Iowa in the Final Four this past season, and continues to be overshadowed by Clark in the race for WNBA Rookie of the Year. Reese is nothing if not controversial and polarizing, so it was a genius move for Amazon to follow her around with cameras as well.

This trailer dropped pretty much out of nowhere and is slated for a September 10 release on Amazon Prime Video. It’ll be pretty compelling to see how the seasons of all these extraordinary athletes unfolded — and how they were able to juggle their NIL obligations while still achieving massive success in the athletic arena.
