Gonzaga Sport Consulting Group

Gonzaga Sport
Consulting Group

A student-led consultancy, backed by the Gonzaga School of Business. We build future leaders by putting them to work on real, challenging business problems in sports.

Who we work with

43 Engagements with
35 organizations

Across the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, WNBA, MLS, USL, and NWSL. Some of the strongest brands in sport.

Our vision

We shape futureZag business leaders.

We combine the power of sport with unparalleled experiential learning. That is what makes us an innovator in business education and a valuable resource in the sports industry. Sport is where the work happens. The leader it builds goes wherever they go next.

We get there by focusing on something few programs attempt. We develop the whole person, while delivering high quality work to high quality clients.

Develop the whole person

We focus on a student's internal and external environment, growing their curiosity in both while they solve real business problems in sports. None of it happens passively, and nobody gets there on their own.

Deliver for the client

Valuable, actionable insight an organization will actually use. We take the harder brief when it serves the client and the student, and we hold the standard in the room.

Doing the work

Students do not grow by watching. They grow by taking on something harder than they are ready for, delivering work a client will actually use, and pulling each other through it. The fun is real, and it is the kind you earn rather than the kind you schedule.

Semester newsletters

Every semester we publish what the teams did, what came out of it, and what the students took from it.

Dive deeper

Open the one that fits you.

We develop the whole person, not just the skill set. The client work is real, and what it does to your judgment, your nerve and your standards is what you keep.

Open to every major. Start as a consultant, grow into a project manager, do work that ships, and be handed responsibility before you feel ready. Students apply each semester.

Learn more

Four consultants and a project manager, eight weeks, three meetings, no cost. We have worked with leagues, franchises, and brands across every major professional league.

Learn more

Six student directors set the standard and run the projects. A faculty director holds the line between cohorts. Ten advisers from across sport, consulting and finance give our students the perspective no classroom can.

Advise a student team, support a trip, sponsor a project, or give directly through Gonzaga. Every contribution expands what our students can do and experience.

We recruit every semester, and there is no single profile and no single door. Consultants, project managers, and roles built around a specialty. Open to every major.
