TCU 54% to win. Michigan State won as Elo’s underdog.
The money
The Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl was put on by the Valley of the Sun Bowl Foundation, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2013, which takes in this game, reports $6.6 million in revenue and $11.3 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 86-0902767).
