The money
The Alamo Bowl was put on by the San Antonio Bowl Association, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2020, which takes in this game, reports $14.2 million in revenue and $12.6 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 74-2606522).
Every drive
Solid bars scored; an outline in the other team’s color marks points the defense scored. Texas drives left to right, Utah right to left.
