The level of giving often fluctuates with how well the sports teams perform(mainly football). If they are doing well, giving is usually up, but when they perform poorly, there&#8217;s usually a decrease in giving. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"61\">The opportunity to create a stream of income that&#8217;s immune to the emotional swings of good or bad seasons is a good thing, especially while still competing in the inferior ACC.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"64\">If we listen to the Founder\/CEO, Nick Lord, of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nocapsports.io\/post\/seminole-boosters-partnership-announcement\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NOCAP Sports<\/a>, FSU has already seen a tremendous benefit from the relationship.
