Sporting events in the U.S., particularly college football games, provide an opportunity for high-risk alcohol consumption that can result in alcohol-related consequences and associated public safety issues. Policy implication and predicting alcohol-related misconduct at college football games has become a concern for university administrators. To address this issue, we explored the extent to which the profile of a game or opponent-whether that be operationalized by classification (e.g., in-state opponent, conference opponent) or opponent quality (e.g., top-25 status, ranking average)-influences the reported stadium ejections of a college football venue, and whether these associations existed beyond the influence of several noteworthy covariates (e.g., time of kickoff, attendance, temperature). We suggest that time of kickoff and opponent quality measures predicted increases of ejections from college football stadiums. We conclude by discussing policy implications for college athletic departments and university stakeholders.
在美国，体育赛事，尤其是大学橄榄球比赛，为高风险饮酒提供了机会，这可能导致与酒精相关的后果及相关公共安全问题。政策影响以及预测大学橄榄球比赛中与酒精相关的不当行为已成为大学管理人员关注的问题。为解决这一问题，我们探讨了比赛或对手的概况——无论是通过分类（例如，州内对手、联盟对手）还是对手质量（例如，排名前25、平均排名）来衡量——对大学橄榄球场报告的体育场驱逐事件的影响程度，以及这些关联在几个值得注意的协变量（例如，开球时间、上座率、温度）的影响之外是否仍然存在。我们认为开球时间和对手质量指标预测了大学橄榄球场驱逐事件的增加。最后，我们讨论了对大学体育部门和大学利益相关者的政策影响。
