The money
The Citrus Bowl was put on by the Florida Citrus Sports Association, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2018, which takes in this game, reports $13.6 million in revenue, $7.0 million of it from media income, and $12.9 million in expenses. Its best-paid, chief executive officer Steve Hogan, was paid $629,000.
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).
Every drive
Solid bars scored; an outline in the other team’s color marks points the defense scored. LSU drives left to right, Notre Dame right to left.
