The money
The Duke’s Mayo Bowl was put on by the Charlotte Sports Foundation, a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to March 2024, which takes in this game, reports $23.3 million in revenue, $16.5 million of it from ticket sales & bowl rights fees, and $21.7 million in expenses. Its best-paid, executive director Danny Morrison, was paid $472,000. 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 46-2059715).
