LSU gymnast and social media superstar Olivia Dunne ranks among the highest NIL earners among college athletes, and she shows no signs of slowing down as her popularity continues to rise.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model recently opened up about how much money she makes on sponsored social media posts. She shared on the Full Send Podcast last week that the most she’s earned on a single post was over $500,000.
Dunne didn’t reveal which company paid her that amount.

Everything you need to know for the 4th of July.
The 51st annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest comes to us once more from Coney Island to give us the rare opportunity to see humans gorge themselves in the name of glory and entertainment.
Some things change, but not the favorite in the men’s competition. Yes, Joey Chestnut is back and he is the undisputed king of professional eating. The 2023 competition could be his 16th title, and right now nobody is remotely close to unseating Chestnut from his crown.
The Birmingham Stallions might be the first pro sports team in history to celebrate a championship with 40s.
The Stallions beat the Pittsburgh Maulers 28-12 over the weekend to win back-to-back USFL titles, but the team didn’t reach for expensive bottles of champagne.
Not at all. Instead, the team opted to celebrate its second straight championship with 40s of Miller High Life. In a way, it kind of makes sense seeing as how High Life is the “champagne of beers.”

The Braves had a team-record eight players selected to this year’s MLB All-Star Game, and one of them wasn’t even on the big-league roster to start the season.
Starting pitcher Bryce Elder was announced as one of the National League’s reserve pitchers for the upcoming Midsummer Classic. But the right-handed pitcher was just trying to compete for the fifth starting spot in March. He didn’t get it and was optioned to the minors that same month.
He was eventually called up and he made the most of his opportunity. He now has the second-lowest ERA among starters in MLB at 2.
The Heat may want Damian Lillard, and the Blazers star himself may want to head to South Beach, but there are plenty of other teams at least contemplating the idea of throwing a wrench in that plan.
Although Miami doesn’t have the strongest potential trade package, the widespread belief still seems to be that the Heat will find a way to pull off a deal for Lillard.
But as longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein revealed on his Substack chat for The Stein Line, the Jazz and CEO Danny Ainge make for a “fascinating concept” in the Lillard discussions.

It was a tough Sunday for Haas, but their social media team might have won the day
It was a difficult Austrian Grand Prix for Haas F1 Team, at least on the track.
But their social media team made the most of it on Twitter.
Despite starting inside the top ten, Nico Hülkenberg did not finish on Sunday, when his VF-23 suffered a failure and he was forced to retire. Teammate Kevin Magnussen fared little better, spending his day at the back of the field before finishing 19th.
Being a hitter in Major League Baseball is a very difficult thing to be these days—there are just so many pitchers throwing really nasty stuff and sometimes at some very high speeds, too.
Imagine standing in the batter’s box, though, and looking out at the pitcher only to see him grinning like he knows exactly what’s about to happen. That just wouldn’t seem fair or fun.
How have recent perfect-game pitchers fared in their encore?
For the first time since the death of former NFL quarterback Ryan Mallett on Tuesday, his girlfriend, Madison Carter, made a public statement about his tragic drowning in a lengthy Facebook post Sunday night.
Carter was with Mallett when he drowned in the Gulf of Mexico off the shore of Destin, Fla.
“I trust that God has a plan for everything, but I don’t think I will ever understand why this happened. I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you, and I hope you know how hard I tried,” Carter wrote.
After Dillon Brooks was dragged thru the mud for weeks and having to see the thousands of memes about his next stop being China, he and his agent got the last laugh. After Brooks inked a massive new contract with the Houston Rockets, Brooks’ agent fired off a tweet in Chinese.
Brooks made major headlines during the NBA playoffs when he called LeBron James old during the opening-round matchup between his then-Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers.
