The time has come for college athletes to cash in on their name, image and likeness, and sprinter Caisja Chandler became the first University of Cincinnati student-athlete to do so.
A week after the NCAA Board of Directors suspended the NCAA's antiquated rules prohibiting student-athletes from selling their NIL rights, Chandler tweeted Wednesday that she received a payment through Klout Machine, a marketplace that allows student-athletes to make money from their social media posts, speaking engagements or simply just eating at local restaurants.
"It's a one-time thing," Chandler told The Enquirer on Thursday.
