The money
The Gator Bowl was put on by the Gator Bowl Association, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2021, which takes in this game, reports $5.6 million in revenue, $5.0 million of it from football game revenue, and $6.7 million in expenses. Its best-paid, president/CEO Richard M Catlett, was paid $1.3 million. The largest payments it lists that year:
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 59-0541694).
