Olivia Dunne Criticizes NCAA Gymnastics Scoring System Following LSU's Loss

The LSU gymnast and social media star raises concerns about fan confusion and financial impacts under new judging reforms, sparking debate within the gymnastics community.

Olivia Dunne voiced concerns about the NCAA's new Collegiate Judging Issue (CJI) system, claiming it confuses fans and impacts the entertainment value of gymnastics.
Dunne highlighted the need for greater transparency in scoring to boost crowd engagement and support female athletes financially.
The NCAA introduced the CJI system in May 2024 to address inconsistencies in judging, but it has led to fewer perfect 10 scores, with only two awarded so far in the 2025 season.
Critics, including commentator Christina Chauvenet, argued that educating fans on scoring complexity is better than simplifying the system, countering Dunne's remarks.
The debate follows LSU's narrow loss to Arkansas, with Dunne's team struggling to maintain their performance amid the new scoring framework.
