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 2024, which takes in this game, reports $17.6 million in revenue, $10.7 million of it from media income, and $14.5 million in expenses. Its best-paid, chief executive officer Steve Hogan, was paid $872,000.
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).
