Name, Image, Likeness. Three little words that changed collegiate athletics in the summer of 2021. See just how NIL has affected LSU’s star student-athletes in The Money Game, a new Prime Video series premiering today on the streaming service, 225 magazine reports.
The six-part documentary takes viewers into the lives of Olivia Dunne, Angel Reese, Flau’jae Johnson, Jayden Daniels, Trace Young and Alia Armstrong as they navigate NIL deals and learn about this new form of revenue while trying to maintain their athletic and academic performances and social lives. The Money Game aims to shed light on exactly what NIL is and how it impacts student-athletes, their families and their careers.
Director Drea Cooper says the decision to focus on LSU and its athletes for this series was a no-brainer considering how quickly the university embraced NIL after the historic policy change.
