Matt Santangelo on Zags Collective: 'This is a way for athletes to engage with the community'

NIL collective connects Gonzaga players with fans, alumni, businesses and charities in Spokane community

The NIL era is here, and Gonzaga is in a great position to benefit from it.

Working closely with the Zags Collective - the NIL collective that helps student-athletes engage with both the Spokane community and Zags fans across the country - Gonzaga men's basketball is giving Bulldogs fans exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the program and its players.

Gonzaga is also working with local businesses and charities to give their student-athletes a chance to make a difference in the community and learn how to grow and manage their brands. 

One way for fans to support the Gonzaga men's basketball program is through a membership to the Zags Collective. A membership gives fans exclusive access to Gonzaga Nation content, including player interviews, coaches shows and much more.
