The money
The Orange Bowl was put on by the Orange Bowl Committee, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to April 2012, which takes in this game, reports $18.6 million in revenue and $18.1 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 59-0384382).
