Just to be clear - if Nike/Wheaties comes and offers Suni $1mm in endorsements, shes still perfectly free to compete at AU, right?
Way more money coming down the pike for her than that.
NIL is great in that it made the decision about whether to college or pro easy as hell. A gymnast on her level is going to make the lion's share of their money on endorsements anyway.

I hope she gets PAID big time. She represented the country and AU well. Not sure if she will still compete at Auburn again or not.

And for someone like Suni, the next 4 years are her peak marketability and, most likely, her peak athletic ability for gymnastics. Coming off gold in the olympics, heading to college, and having the olympics again in only 3 years. NIL is probably the only way she can even go to college at this point
