“Because I have school and gymnastics”
The 2025 Coachella spans over two weekends, from April 11 to 13 and April 18 to 20. The NCAA Championships will take place from April 16 to 18 in Fort Worth, Texas.
Olivia Dunne will not be participating in the 2025 NCAA championship as she is suffering from an avulsion fracture in her patella, a serious knee injury. The severe injury has kept Olivia Dunne out of the competition, and she was also unable to participate in the last LSU Tigers home meet at the Pete Maravich Assembly Centre.
Olivia Dunne reflects on the NIL platform for collegiate athletes
The notable artistic gymnast is considered the highest-earning athlete in NCAA women's athletics and has multiple NIL deals with brands. During her interview last year in September with GQ Sports, the New Jersey native reflected on her thoughts on the emerging NIL opportunities and trends. She mentioned,
“Most women's sports don't have professional leagues, so it's really important for girls to capitalize on their NIL while they're still in college. Usually it's like an old man talking about football when they're complaining about this, but I think it's great for women, and I think that everyone deserves their rights to their name, image, and likeness. It's theirs! Put yourself in a student athlete's shoes, then you would understand. And it is life-changing. My life is so different now.”
Her team, the No.1 ranked LSU Tigers, won their sixth SEC Championship title in the history of the program and their 15th NCAA Regional title, concluding the regional final with a score of 198.050, advancing to the NCAA Championships.
