Ohio State charges $5 per ticket(free to students and children under 6 I believe). That money is normally all donated to local charities, but I'm not sure if that was the case again this year or not. It could have been placed into an Urban Heart Care HSA this go around.

There were 'limited number' of reserved seats (around 15K) that were sold for $15...about 70K sold at $5 and about 15k students free. For the last few years it has been billed as the Nationwide LifeSports Spring Game..OSU kept parking and concession $$ to pay for the event. Approximately $400k went to charity.
