She's not a particularly big contributor to the gymnastics team in terms of the actual competition. I think she only does, what, one event? But it's not like she is "going pro" as a gymnast regardless of when she leaves LSU. So much of her marketability centers around being a hot girl AND college gymnast at a major university. Once she stops being a gymnast she is essentially just a hot girl in a vast sea of hot girls on social media.

If she has some sort of media career in line for when she leaves LSU now may be the time to go. If not, it may be worthwhile to stay one more year and continue to monetize her NIL marketability for one last year.

Of course she is benefitting herself but IMO her main contribution to the LSU athletes there...obviously not her obscure gymnastic scores...is her unselfish and seemingly efficient instruction to other LSU female athletes about how to get their own NIL, etc. I'm not a big Tik Tok viewer but I have seen a couple of her videos where she had other gymnasts in her broadcast. I'm sure they got a piece of that pie. I give her immense credit for sincerely wanting to help others benefit from her marketing experience. Good for her!

Exactly.


Also lost in the obsession with Livvy the IG model not the gymnast.

She's not the best on the team by any stretch but she's consistent when called upon. She probably won't come in and get 9.95s on bars or floor but she won't get 9.7s either. That's the legacy she will leave behind to LSU gymnastics fans.
