The NCAA’s “Name, Image, Likeness” policy now allows all student-athletes to explore new opportunities and maximize their personal brand. We embrace this in a way that is uniquely Gonzaga: driven by values, commitment to service, and a tradition of considering the needs of the community and the world. The NIL policy allows student athletes to embrace an entrepreneurial spirit and pursue new opportunities that elevate their personal brand and increase exposure to causes, companies, or organizations they care about.
