Yep, she has over a million Instagram followers.

I predicted a while back that hot female athletes and cheerleaders could cash in big with NIL via social media.

Good for them.

If that were the case then cheerleaders would already be cashing in. The NCAA has no oversight of cheer or pom. The only things stopping these athletes from making money on social media is their respective universities who often have very strict rules.

I think they might be. There are several college cheerleaders with more than a million Instagram followers. For example:

Or maybe they have cashed in after leaving school? In any event, it would seem strange if athletes can now do NIL while enrolled and cheerleaders could not?
