The money
The Liberty Bowl was put on by the Liberty Bowl Festival Association, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2017, which takes in this game, reports $9.5 million in revenue and $9.5 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 62-6064769).
Every drive
Solid bars scored; an outline in the other team’s color marks points the defense scored. TCU drives left to right, Georgia right to left.
