In November 2022, LSU gymnast and Olivia Dunne fired back at The New York Times after they published a column with the headline, "New Endorsements for College Athletes Resurface an Old Concern: Sex Sells." The cover photo was Dunne in her LSU leotard.

But what we didn’t know until now was that Dunne’s courage to speak up against the column, where she posted the same photo to her Instagram Stories and wrote "Is this too much?" while tagging the publication, landed her spot in Sports Illustrated’s coveted Swimsuit Edition for this year.

Dunne’s social media presence, which includes a whopping 7.6 million on TikTok and 4.2 million on Instagram, grows by the day.

It’s led her to numerous opportunities to profit thanks to NIL deals, which has made her one of the highest-grossing college athletes in the country.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Olivia Dunne attends the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch at Hard Rock Hotel on May 18, 2023, in New York City.
