Prime Video Docuseries Featuring Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese Coming Soon

The first look at the new series “The Money Game” is now available.

Why it matters: This six-part docuseries delves into how the NCAA’s policy on name, image, and likeness rights (NIL) transformed the lives of student-athletes at Louisiana State University during the 2023-24 season, spotlighting athletes such as Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.

Flashback: In 2021, the NCAA introduced an interim policy permitting athletes to benefit financially from the use of their name, image, or likeness. This includes activities ranging from signing autographs to making public appearances.

Zoom in: States like Illinois have enacted NIL compensation into law, yet NCAA restrictions persist. For instance, schools and athletic departments are not allowed to directly pay athletes.

The intrigue: The series prominently features Reese during her college years, adding another media milestone for this emerging star.

• The series is produced by Axios Entertainment, Campfire Studios, and Shaquille O’Neal’s Jersey Legends, which is a division of Authentic Studios.

What’s next: “The Money Game” is set to premiere on September 10 on Amazon Prime.
