Ohio turned small profit on bowl trip

It wasn’t known at the time, but Ohio University made history in the 2015 Camellia Bowl in December.

The Bobcats’ football team lost an entertaining, 31-29 thriller to Appalachian State in the second-year bowl game in Montgomery, Ala.

But it wasn’t until nearly four months later that Ohio would claim — for the first time in the modern, bowl-game heavy era — that it actually turned a profit in a postseason football game.

According to a bowl game financial report released Tuesday, Ohio made money for participating in the Dec. 19 bowl game.

Ohio showed a net revenue of $362.
