Cavinder Twins Responds To The Sexiest Article Suggesting The Reason Behind NIL Success

They announced on The Today Show in April that they will join the WWE as professional wrestlers. The WWE’s NIL program, known as “Next in Line,” which paid players for promoting the league and created a possible pipeline for full-time careers in professional wrestling, has included the twins since 2021.

The Cavinder twins were among the smartest NIL earners in the NCAA and amassed sizable social media followings during their academic days.

Their potential yearly earnings of almost $900,000 per, according to On3. They were unaffected even by several NIL problems, such as an NCAA recruiting infraction connected to one of their collaborations.

The Cavinders were innovators during the NIL period of the NCAA. They transferred from Fresno State to Miami in April 2022. Haley averaged 12.2 points per game as a starting guard for the Hurricanes as they rolled to a historic season. Hanna, a guard by trade, averaged 3.8 points per contest off the bench. Miami reached the women’s Elite Eight for the first time ever in the 2018 NCAA tournament.

The sisters moved to Miami in search of a wider platform while on pace to make $1 million in NIL money. On Instagram, they each have 1.3 million followers, and their joint TikTok account has 4.5 million. On April 11, they made their departure from Miami’s women’s basketball team public.

The Free Press ran a piece on June 13 titled “The NCAA Has a ‘Hot Girl’ Problem” that highlighted the success of Haley and Hanna Cavinder as name, image, and likeness athletes, which goes far beyond their on-court ability.

Ethan Strauss, a former journalist for ESPN and The Athletic who has criticized sports leagues and the media in his independent newsletter, released a column in which he discussed how the NCAA’s new NIL rules have highlighted a problem with regard to those who are able to earn the most.

Former professional runner Victoria Jackson told the news outlet The Free Press that she believes the Cavinder twins are receiving money because of their “sexiness and attractiveness,” which is “unfair” to other female athletes who are more skilled in their sports.

The Cavinder Twins replied to the piece with a twitter statement sent by Hanna a few hours after it was published, claiming that the interview was “obtained under the false pretense that it would be written about life after NIL.”

The newspaper particularly informed us that we should “see the Cavinders as a very important story not only in the context of women’s college sports but also in the context of new media culture and business,” according to a portion of the statement.

The Twins’ successes as athletes and businesswomen were “demeaned” by the piece, according to their statement.

“We are both disappointed and disgusted by this journalism practice and blatant sexist trope,” the statement said.

Soon later, Haley tweeted her sister’s message.

“The subsequent article not only demeaned our athletic achievements and business accomplishments it furthered the narrative that hard-working, creative, and driven women can only do well if they are deemed attractive. … We are both disappointed and disgusted by this journalism practice and blatant sexist trope. We only wish to inspire young (women) to chase their dreams, work hard, dream big. Now we must also defend them against men that wish to sum their potential to physical appearance.”
