Many people asked the girls about their plans for the music industry while being college athletes. One time in an interview with SLAM magazine, Dylan remarked on this subject, “We definitely tried to challenge the system a little bit to make both music and basketball work. At the end of the day, the only thing they would allow us to do was to sing the national anthem at a game and make music in our home. It just became this fight as to why we wouldn’t do anything outside of basketball without all of these ticky-tack regulations coming into play. It just became so stressful. Dakota and I were very much committed to coming back for our senior years, but as things were unfolding with the NCAA, it became a nightmare. E-mails that were like, ‘If you’re going to do this, then this is going to happen’ kept coming. You almost start to feel a little threatened by them.” Ultimately, the girls were in a difficult situation and they had a decision to make.

After this Dakota and Dylan were kicked off the basketball team at UNLV. The girls felt like everyone was trying to hinder their music opportunities, and thus they were not willing to waste their potential for fame. They decided it was time to jump on all the music opportunities they could catch.
