Dunne -- who makes millions off the NCAA's recent name, image and likeness rules -- spoke about the big move on Thursday ... saying, "Thank you @SI_Swimsuit for making my dreams come true💕"

SI Swim editor MJ Day explained the decision to include Dunne in the annual mag ... saying the athlete is way more than a sexy star.

"The refusal of some to appreciate Livvy for being more than just a pretty blonde is missing the point," Day said. "The backlash she received for 'leveraging' her sexuality for endorsement dollars after the NIL restrictions were lifted is incorrect."
