The Free Press posted an article Tuesday discussing the ascent of “blonde, girl-next-door” female college athletes who are making serious money thanks to name, image and likeness (NIL) deals.
The story was written by Ethan Strauss, a former basketball reporter for ESPN and The Athletic. The premise of the story is that attractive, blonde athletes seem to be landing major NIL deals regardless of performance in their sport.
As part of the story, Strauss interviewed Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who played for Miami’s women’s basketball team. The duo has since departed Coral Gables, opting against using their final years of college eligibility, but landed plenty of NIL deals while they were active college athletes.
