They make decent money for promotional appearances when hired by a third party for an event. 

 

That said - the teams/league should compensate them better.  

 

I'm not sexist by any means, and feel strongly about equality for women in the workplace, 

(i.e.- I beat up a guy for grabbing my GF's butt years ago when she was a cocktail waitress)

 

BUT  - they absolutely know what they are getting into when they audition for these squads.  This stuff has been widely publicized for years. 

Most of them do it for a year or two to try and bolster/jumpstart a modeling career or pad the resume' as a dance instructor or choreographer.
