Hayley Hodson is a former Stanford University volleyball player.[1] She was listed as the number one college volleyball recruit by Volleyball magazine in April 2015,[2][3] and she was the named National Freshmen of the year and All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association and Volleyball Magazine in the same year.[4]
Hodson was a member of Team USA's Youth National, Junior National, and Women's National Volleyball teams during her high school years. After being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, she announced her medical retirement from volleyball in June 2017.[5] In 2020, Hodson sued the NCAA and Stanford for damages and lost volleyball income.[6]
Hodson's testimony was also instrumental in the unanimous passing of SB 206, the Fair Pay to Play Act in the State of California,[7] authored by senators Nancy Skinner and Steve Bradford, which allowed NCAA student-athletes to own their own name, image, and likeness, and to be able to profit from such just like any other college student.[8][9][10][11][12]
