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 2022, which takes in this game, reports $15.3 million in revenue, $10.1 million of it from media income, and $12.8 million in expenses. Its best-paid, chief executive officer Steven J Hogan, was paid $691,000.

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).
