Indiana cheerleader Cassidy Cerny made more headlines than her school’s players when she dislodged a basketball that was stuck behind the backboard during the team’s NCAA Tournament first round game against St. Mary’s.
Video of Cerny being hoisted by a fellow cheerleader and casually retrieving the stuck ball quickly went viral online — and she’s taking advantage of it, signing a name, image and likeness deal with sports apparel company Breaking T.
This legend? We put her on a t-shirt. #MarchMadness

Indiana fans didn’t have much else to cheer about — the Hoosiers were blown out 82-53.
