The money
The Chick-fil-A Bowl was put on by Peach Bowl, Inc., a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to February 2013, which takes in this game, reports $29.8 million in revenue and $25.2 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 58-1052332).
