Some bowls have taken a more conservative approach. A spokesman for the New Orleans Bowl said nobody makes more than $100,000. Another new bowl game, the Heart of Dallas Bowl, will rely entirely on volunteers. It matches Oklahoma State (7-5) against Purdue (6-6).

The big question many critics have is, "What do these bowl bosses do the other 11 months of the year?" "We have an event almost every month associated with our two bowl games, and you spend the entire year selling sponsorships," says Bruce Binkow-ski of the Holiday Bowl and Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. "Sometimes I'm busier from January through May than from September The chief of the Gator Bowl, in which Florida played against Ohio State in 2012, makes at least $375,000. getty IMAGES Continued from Page 1A sidized by participating teams and conferences that combined to pay the bowl games $20.9 million last season for unsold tickets. Bowl boss salaries are "skewed," says Richard Southall, director of the College Sport Research Institute at North Carolina. For comparison: Five bowl bosses made more than the CEO of the American National Red Cross, who last year made $561,000 while overseeing revenues of $3.5 billion.

The Outback Bowl takes in $10 million. Bowl boss pay increased 32 percent from 2006-10, exceeding the rate of increase for corporate executives, a group that's been pilloried by politicians because of their large pay packages. The median salary for the 15 bosses at the non RANGE OF ISSUES DISCUSSED Forty-four speakers addressed the Space Coast delegation to the Florida Legislature during its three-hour meeting on Wednesday. The delegation unanimously elected Rep. Tom Goodson as chairman and Rep.

John Tobia as vice chairman for 2013. Here are some of the issues that came up Wednesday: Equal Rights Amendment: Several speakers urged the legislators to push for ratification in Florida of the federal Equal Rights Amendment, which is three states short of the three-quarters approval needed to become part of the U.S. Constitution. Reproductive rights: Several speakers suggested that the Florida Legislature should stop trying to legislate aspects of a woman's right to have an abortion. Anne Eskamani, external affairs manager for Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando, said state legislators should instead focus of the economy, jobs and education issues.

Rights of the disabled: Amy Sequenzia said state agencies need to improve their interactions with people who have disabilities. "Disabled people deserve to be heard," Sequenzia said. "This is not about pity. It's about rights human and civil rights." Veterans' issues: Bill Luty said Brevard County needs additional funding to expand services to veterans, who make up about 20 percent of the county's adult population. He said that would include money for a veterans' hospital, a retirement center and a facility to help homeless veterans.

Dave Berman, FLORIDA TODAY Continued from Page 1A but not at other public facilities. Scott noted that, on some days of early voting, there were three-hour waits at some of the county's five elections offices, but 30- to 40-minute waits at the three library sites. Scott, though, said she would not favor expanding the number of in-per-son early-voting days beyond the current eight. Other speakers, however, told the four Florida House members and two Florida Senate members at the delegation meeting that they wanted more early-voting days. Ann LaPointe, a representative of the Citizen Exit Poll 2012, an independent watchdog group, said she wants to see 14 days of early voting, expanded early-voting hours, notification of voters before Election Day if there is a problem with their mailed-in absentee ballot, and expanded spot-checks of election results.

Author David Kearns called on the legislators to seek help from the federal government to investigate election irregularities. He said Florida's elections "are a worldwide joke." The delegation chairman, Florida Rep. Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island, said Brevard County had "a great election process," but "around the state, there are certainly some concerns" that the Florida Legislature hopes to address in 2013.

The San Diego Bowl Association is one of four organizations that conducts two bowl games per year, but it paid Binkowski $283,095 last year, ranking near the bottom. The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl's executive director, Gary Cavalli, had his pay ($375,176) determined after his board reviewed data on pay. The CEO of the Alamo Bowl, Derrick Fox, made $461,248 last year.

To play in a bowl game, teams and their conferences agree to buy an allotment of tickets. Many participating schools lose money on bowl trips because of this. NCAA documents show that the 70 bowl teams in 2010-11, the most recent year available, exceeded their expense allowances by an average of $169,226, largely due to ticket costs. The bowls also stress that they serve their regions in more ways than hosting a game. They attract tens of millions of dollars with fans coming in to fill hotel rooms, eat at local restaurants and spend money.

Several bowl tax forms say their boards determine executive pay after reviewing a survey of what other bowls pay. But even the head of the bowl industry's own trade group acknowledges the survey can be "self-fulfilling."
