Haley and Hanna Cavinder are one of the most recognizable names in women’s college basketball thanks to their social media presence along with their game.

The Cavinder twins, as they are known on various social media networks, built a following of more than 4.4 million on TikTok and more than 176,000 on Instagram. On Monday, the Miami Hurricanes basketball stars inked a new name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with a controversial company that landed a competitor in hot water.

The Cavinders posted a TikTok showing they recently got hooked up with Caktus AI – an artificial intelligence company created to help students spend less time on "meaningless writing assignments."

Former Notre Dame kicker Harrison Leonard, one of the company's creators, told On3 Sports earlier this month the deal with Olivia Dunne was "probably one of the most disruptive NIL campaigns that has been run, just off the amount of stories that have come out of it."

The Cavinders teamed up for former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs for the initial post. Their TikTok video received more than 1.5 million views.

Dunne’s deal with Caktus AI prompted Louisiana State University to issue a warning to students about plagiarism.
