It was a pleasure for the Zags to return to RCDE Stadium in Barcelona and reconnect with RCD Espanyol, one of Spain’s historic La Liga clubs. We appreciated the insightful discussions from business manager Manu Carrasco Parodi, club historian David Tolo Gutiérrez, and Jordi Tomas Augusto, who also provided a tour of the stadium and club operations.

A highlight of the visit was our students’ excellent project pitch for an exclusive VIP box suite and networking lounge at RCDE Stadium for university students across Catalonia, supported by a marketing and ticketing campaign ready for implementation. Special thanks to Jordi and Manu for engaging with the students and providing valuable feedback.

RCD Espanyol continues to stand out as a welcoming, first-class club that offers sports management students a unique look into the business and technical side of world football. ¡Vamos Espanyol!

Week 2 in Barcelona is officially in the books for the Gonzaga M.A. in Sport & Athletic Administration/Sport Management program! 🇪🇸

This week was filled with unforgettable experiences exploring the culture, history, and passion of Catalonia through the lens of sport.

Aside from our visits with professional sport clubs (separate post coming soon), highlights from Week 2 included:
• Attending the FC Barcelona Femení match shortly after their Champions League victory and witnessing club legend Alexia Putellas receive an emotional sendoff in what marked her final match with the club
• Exploring the iconic Park Güell
• Participating in an international sports cooking class with Dr. Bartlett
• Traveling to the historic city of Girona and visiting famous Game of Thrones filming locations

From experiencing world-class sport environments to immersing ourselves in local culture, this program continues to provide students with meaningful global learning opportunities both inside and outside the sports industry.

Stay tuned as we continue sharing more from our time abroad!

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began after the Civil War to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. Today, we continue that tradition by remembering the fallen, honoring their sacrifice and reflecting on the cost of freedom. As we commemorate Memorial Day on May 25, Gonzaga gives thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Please note there will be no summer classes or University work on Monday.

Zags at Spotify Camp Nou! ⚽️🇪🇸

The Gonzaga MASAA–Sport Management Barcelona Program is officially underway as students settle into life in Barcelona after kicking off classes earlier this week with MASAA professors Dr. Bartlett and Dr. Turcott.

This week, the group toured the iconic Spotify Camp Nou and the FC Barcelona Museum, getting an inside look at one of the world’s most legendary football clubs. Once fully renovated, Spotify Camp Nou will hold 105,000 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Europe.

Tomorrow, after class, the students will hike through Montjuïc and visit Barcelona’s historic 1992 Olympic sites before diving into an exciting lineup of club visits and collaborative projects with La Liga and Liga ACB teams.

Stay tuned for more from Barcelona! 🔥

Meet Nate Dellinger (Class of 2026), Assistant Director of Football Operations at the University of Montana Athletics. Nate provides central support across the Montana football program, handling PR, finances, travel, and daily logistics for 15+ coaching and non-coaching staff as well as student-athletes. He works closely with the program's General Manager on team calendars, travel, and practice and game operations.

That makes Nate the fourth MASAA grad currently on staff with Montana Athletics. The Zags-to-Griz pipeline keeps growing.

"I chose Gonzaga due to the holistic nature of the MASAA program. It was evident that I would be gaining a quality education in all sectors of sport and athletics. I will attribute my ability to think with a systems-minded approach throughout the rest of my professional career to the education I gained in this graduate program. Additionally, I am always impressed by the network of MASAA graduates and their accomplishments."

The students delivered a thoughtful and detailed presentation to Seattle Torrent executive staff, Victor Anderson and Madi McNamara, sharing innovative ideas to build brand awareness in Seattle’s highly competitive sports market.

Amazing work by these students as they applied their skills in a real-world setting while receiving valuable feedback and engaging in meaningful discussion about their recommendations.

A special thank you to Victor and Madi for helping make this opportunity possible!

During his Fall 2025 sabbatical, MASAA Associate Professor Dr. Ryan Turcott was awarded a Gonzaga President–Provost Research Initiative (PPRI) Travel Grant and spent time in the UK and Ireland. 🇬🇧🇮🇪

Dr. Turcott presented at the Football Collective Annual Conference at Ulster University in Belfast, Northern Ireland, an event that brings together leading scholars from around the world to discuss research on the global game. His presentation, Football Clubs as Hubs of Higher Education: A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Curricula, Club Integration, and Future Trends, highlighted innovative intersections between sport and education.

He also made a stop in Northern England to help finalize the location for MASAA’s 2027 study abroad site. These photos are just a hint… 👀 The official announcement is coming soon for a sport management study abroad experience unlike anything we’ve offered before.
