Bodensteiner, a former labor and employment lawyer and long-time collegiate athletics administrator, is uniquely positioned to offer testimony on the complex and multifaceted nature of name, image and likeness; student-athlete employee status; and gender equity among student-athletes. The NCAA has tapped Bodensteiner to serve on numerous committees and working groups related to name, image and likeness. She will represent Saint Joseph's, and like institutions, offering an opinion beyond that of the Power 5 conferences that have dominated the conversation to date.

Bodensteiner's testimony, along with other witnesses, will be streamed live on the Judiciary Committee's website.
