The money
The Outback Bowl was put on by the Tampa Bay Bowl Association, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to January 2022, which takes in this game, reports $11.9 million in revenue and $12.0 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 59-2643123).
Every drive
Solid bars scored; an outline in the other team’s color marks points the defense scored. Arkansas drives left to right, Penn State right to left.
