Olivia Dunne's big decision... what's next? The LSU gymnastics star has plenty of options after winning national title including being a full-time influencer, one final season in Baton Rouge, or going into sports reporting!

Olivia Dunne has a major life decision ahead of her. The LSU gymnast has nearly exhausted her collegiate eligibility while her star power only grows. 

As possibly college sports biggest beneficiary during the name, image and likeness era, Dunne will continue to rake in the dough should she stay at LSU. 

The 21-year-old social-media sensation could also expand her reach while no longer under the NCAA's guidelines. 

Dunne doesn't have to hang up her leotard from the Tigers due to being given an extra year of eligibility due to the coronavirus pandemic, delaying a possible end to her time on the balance beam to April 2025. 

What is next for Dunne? She has plenty of options with many outside factors influencing where he journey goes.

Dunne's current option of being an LSU gymnast is paying off for her, so why not continue being a student-athlete for another year with an NIL net worth of $3.7million, per On3 Sports. 

That number will likely increase after LSU's national championship alongside her skyrocketing social-media following. 

There is some credence to leaving the sport on top, as her chances of competing as a professional gymnast will be limited, if not nonexistent. 

Even if Dunne is keen to go out on her own, taking another 12 months to be protected by the NCAA's banner and use that time to leverage more opportunities when she leaves Baton Rouge could be incredibly valuable. 

With Dunne's experience, she could also see more time in the Tigers' starting lineup in a fifth season at LSU. 

Being at LSU could be sentimental for Dunne, who met boyfriend Paul Skenes in Baton Rouge when he was a star for the school's baseball team. 

'I have no clue (when his MLB debut will fall). I hope soon! I'm starting to get all my merch ready. I have my outfits picked out,' she told TMZ. 

Skenes is currently pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates Triple-A team in Indianapolis and is the No 3 prospect in all of baseball. His time in minor-league baseball will end soon. 

Dunne can stay at LSU and not miss most of Skenes' games, as Major League Baseball's Opening Day typically falls in late March or early April.

Become a full-time influencer

Dunne has found a way to amass over 13million followers on Instagram and TikTok alone while balancing classes and athletics at LSU. What could she do without those restraints? 

Dunne's post-LSU possibilities are endless, with her brand deals opening up to bigger partnerships.

Although there is no professional gymnastics league, Dunne's star power is undeniable. She could see a similar profit as Caitlin Clark.

Clark had an NIL with Nike while at Iowa, and recently signed a reported $28million partnership with the company.

Expect Dunne to have a similar market value as her lane comes from a non-revenue college sport across the board. 

Going out completely on her own frees Dunne up for whatever she wants and that professional freedom may be priceless. 

Dunne could travel the country with Skenes, or launch dozens more brand deals with companies that did not want to partake in NIL.

Go into sports reporting

Here's the dark-horse possibility and one that makes a lot of sense for natural possibilities for Dunne. 

Dunne starting her broadcasting career as a sideline reporter as the US Olympic Trials, where the likely Simone Biles-led American gymnastics will be selected, would be a natural fit for her. 

Joining NBC's coverage of the Olympics in Paris, or being on commentary for future NCAA meets would draw interest beyond the current college-gymnastics fan base. 

Dunne is majoring in communication studies and may have picked up a thing or two about television production and on-air reporting during her time in the classroom. 

Dunne is the farthest thing from camera shy, making a path into staying in gymnastics, while accomplishing all of her social-media goals on the side, a worthwhile effort.

That foray could lead her into participating in other sports, like being in the booth for one of Skenes' games.
