Gymnast influencer and Millionaire LSU, Livvy Dunne, testified against a historic regulation of $ 2.8 billion in the trial brought by collegial athletes against NCAA and its largest conferences on Monday.
Several athletes have criticized the sprawling plan – which will allow schools to make zero payments (name, image and resemblance) directly to athletes – as confusing and which underestimate them.
American district judge Claudia Wilken has already granted preliminary approval of the regulation involving the NCAA AND the five largest conferences in the country (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, PAC-12 and dry). The plan remains on the right track to take effect on July 1 and pave the way at each school to share up to $ 20.5 million each with its athletes each year.
However, Dunne, whose estimated net value of $ 10 million makes her the best paid female athlete in university sports today, is one of the many people who oppose the colony.
The feeling of Tiktok, 22, does not support the formula used to fix the Nile value of an athlete, arguing that hers was estimated too low.
In a passionate testimony on Zoom, she described herself as “an athlete of division I, a business woman, and I am the most paid female athlete since zero rules have changed”.

She said that the regulations hardly recognize its true value and its power of potential gain; A lawyer for the complainants later said that Dunne would receive an updated allowance.
“These regulations use the old logic to calculate modern value,” she said. “We need a narrow snapshot of a still ripening market and freezes it, ignoring the trajectory we were and the offers we have lost and the future we could have.”
Dunne was one of the four athletes to testify against the regulations during a final hearing on Monday, and one of the three who represent Olympic sports and not returned.
The fourth, Benjamin Burr-Kirven, came from a large sport as a former star second in Washington.
Burr-Kirven, who continued to have a brief NFL career before a devastating leg injury, also questioned errors in the establishment of a zero value of a athlete.
“It is in the specific allowance that things become a real squirrel,” he said. “I was a fairly decorated football player and I am paid in the same way as the walk-ons with whom I played and then there are children with whom I were rotating players who got five times more.”
Among the concerns raised by the objectors who testified during the hearing were the equity of the list reductions and the way in which they are accomplished, the process for the way in which zero assessments are established and the management of athletes who will participate in the regulations in the coming years.

Small schools say that this will leave them in deep and heavy programs of donors, and the proposed directives are not supposed to slow down massive spending now common in all university athletics.
Wilken gave no indication on Monday that complaints changed their mind, although she recognized the concerns and asked lawyers for new comments on several subjects. The plan should move forward with its upcoming final decision in a few weeks.
“Basically, I think it is a good regulation, don’t quote me, and I think it’s worth continuing,” said the judge. “I think some of these things could be corrected if people were trying to repair them and it was worth trying to repair them.”
She asked the two parties to come back in a week with the way they could be able to respond to some of her concerns, saying: “Some of them are big tickets, some of them are not. Then, reasons should be made, she said.
