NIL has changed the landscape of college athletics, as it allows athletes to make money, which wasn't the case before. In the NIL world, college athletes can make millions, and some at LSU have done it better than others.

In 'The Money Game' trailer, the documentary follows LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and former Tigers basketball player Angel Reese. The documentary shows how NIL has changed their life and impacted them.

The trailer is intriguing and gives fans an in-depth look into how NIL has helped college athletes get the money they have deserved for decades prior.

Only Dunne remains at LSU, and she has a NIL valuation of $3.9 million, according to On3, which is the second in all of college athletics, only trailing Shedeur Sanders.

Along with the school getting money, Campfire will negotiate with all participating Tigers athletes, who would be paid in the “form of NIL compensation," according to Sportico.

According to the report, the athletes involved in the documentary were wearing a mic during team practice sessions and off-campus filming.

Chief brand officer Cody Worsham said LSU had contemplated offers from different production companies to do something similar. But when Shaquille O'Neal got involved with Campfire, it made the choice easy.

“We wanted great financial terms, great partners, someone we trusted, someone we shared a similar vision for what the story would be,” Worsham said in the interview with Sportico. “And then when Shaq got involved in the back end of this, there was [an added] sense of comfort and trust. It is a full-circle moment … NIL is ingrained to what LSU does, and it goes back to Shaq. He was one of the first college athletes to brand himself.”

The Money Game is set to air on September 10.
