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 2021, which takes in this game, reports $8.7 million in revenue, $3.5 million of it from broadcasting, and $7.4 million in expenses. Its best-paid, president Derrick Fox, was paid $724,000. The largest payments it lists that year:

Big 12see sch i, part IV$2.0 million
PAC-12 Conference – University of Coloradosee sch i, part IV$1.9 million

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).
