The National Collegiate Athletic Association has issued its first ruling for a name, image, and likeness (NIL) violations case, ruling that the University of Miami women's basketball coach Katie Meier violated the NCAA's rules by facilitating "impermissible contact" between prospective athletes and a booster.
The case involves twin sisters Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who transferred to Miami from Fresno State, meeting university financial booster John Ruiz prior to their commitment. The twins are high-profile college players who have secured multiple NIL deals with brands and are reportedly among the highest earners in college sports.
