Olivia Dunne had to learn some lessons that aren’t taught in any LSU classrooms. They included how to navigate her college years as a trailblazer who was taking advantage of the NCAA’s NIL rules that allow students to profit from their talent. “There was no roadmap of how to do school, your athletics, and social media all at the same time,” she told People. On top of this, Olivia had some fans that were a bit too passionate. She told Elle that she had to start taking classes online because she feared for her safety. “There were some scares in the past, and I just want to be as careful as possible. I don’t want people to know my daily schedule,” she said.
While Olivia was unable to sit in a classroom, she praised her school for doing its best to ensure that every student gets an excellent education. “LSU has so many resources, too. You gotta try to fail,” she said on “Full Send.”
Olivia has been fortunate to have someone she can trust in her corner: her older sister Julz Dunne. Julz had one year of school at LSU under her belt when Olivia joined her there, so the seasoned student was able to show her little sis the ropes and be her study buddy. Olivia also told Elle that Julz took one more thing off her plate by editing her social media videos.
