The NCAA announced Friday that it had reached a negotiated resolution with the University of Miami regarding violations of NCAA rules when the school was recruiting Haley and Hanna Cavinder.
The Cavinders transferred to Miami from Fresno State in April of 2022. The twin sisters are some of the most popular college athletes on social media.According to the resolution, Miami coach Katie Meier committed Level II violations when she set up a meeting between the Cavinders and Miami booster John Ruiz. Meier previously served a school-imposed three-game suspension at the beginning of the season relating to the sisters’ recruitment.
The university, head coach and enforcement staff agreed that the head coach asked an assistant coach to contact the prospects and let them know that the booster was a legitimate businessperson, and the prospects agreed to meet with him. The head coach then notified the booster that the prospects were willing to meet with him during the visit, and the booster worked with the prospects' agent to arrange a formal meeting.
The NCAA also made sure to note in its announcement that it was not setting a precedent for future NIL rule violations with the Miami penalty.
