The money
The Capital One Bowl was put on by the Florida Citrus Sports Association, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2012, which takes in this game, reports $13.1 million in revenue and $12.8 million in expenses.
From the organization’s IRS Form 990, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and the IRS’s e-file data. Payments are the grants it lists on Schedule I of that return. See every filing at ProPublica (EIN 59-1058144).
