Today is the first day that college athletes can start making money off of their names and likeness. And it’s not just big name men’s sports that are taking advantage of it.

They’re not even top prospects, but they do have nearly three and a half million followers on Tik Tok.

They haven’t disclosed what the compensation will be.
