The Cavinder Twins were involved in a massive NIL scandal

The sisters gained notoriety for their involvement in a name, image, and likeness scandal after they got transferred to the University of Miami to play for Miami Hurricanes of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

It was reported at the time that the university had been slapped with a year of probation and other penalties over its involvement in connecting the twins with wealthy alumni John Ruiz.

"Ruiz has signed more than 100 Hurricanes athletes to NIL deals to promote his company LifeWallet, some of them reportedly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. His conversations and deals with athletes who have transferred to Miami in a number of sports have come under NCAA scrutiny in the past year."
