Earlier this week, Haley and Hanna Cavinder announced they would be forgoing their fifth year of NCAA eligibility and walking away from college basketball.
The decision comes on the heels of Miami’s surprising Elite Eight run in the NCAA tournament. One could argue as women’s college basketball saw an unprecedented level of success thanks to budding rivalries and star power — including both Haley and Hanna — the Cavinders returning to the Hurricanes for one more season would only add to their growing NIL (name, image and likeness) empire.
Speculation as to what would be next for the ultra-popular pair ramped up on Thursday morning as the Cavinders appeared on the “TODAY Show,” fielding questions about their move to leave college, their experience with NIL at Miami and what the future holds for them.
