Amazon releases trailer for 'The Money Game' on LSU's NIL
LSU’s 2023-24 academic year will go down as one of the most memorable in college sport’s history, from the on-the-field success to the new starts in the age of NIL.
Amazon Prime followed LSU’s top stars throughout the year, tracking their success in their sport, but closely following their ventures into the NIL space. No school has capitalized on athlete’s Name Image and Likeness like LSU and now the Tigers are starring in an Amazon Docuseries called “The Money Game.
Famous gymnast Livvy Dunne, women’s basketball stars Flau’Jae Johnson and Angel Reese, and football Heisman winning quarterback Jayden Daniels all star in the series that airs on Sept. 10 on Amazon Prime.
LSU continues to blaze its own trail in the NIL space and it helps that the coaches have all been willing to accept the new era of college athletics and welcome their players making money while in school.
“To think this last third of my coaching career I get to be a part of what’s really special in women’s basketball,” LSU head coach Kim Mulkey said. “It’s special with the attendance, the NIL deals these young people can have, it’s special in so many ways. I knew it would get better, but I never thought it would get this big this fast. It may not be fast in the eyes of some people, but it is fast for this generation.”
