BETTERCFB TRAVEL AND LOCAL IMPACT — v1 — 2026-10-15
Template, not a priced estimate. All unspecified amounts are MISSING, never zero.

CASE HEADER (complete separately for Texas/Austin and Penn State/University Park)
Collector / source date / season / event date / round / opponent:
Campus venue / alternative destination / identical population and attendance scope:
Academic housing, dining and accessibility access confirmed by:

SCHOOL CASH — use /evidence/economics#school-cash
For each venue and low/central/high: retained distributions; retained tickets;
operations; team travel; student support; insurance; standby.
For EACH row: amount/currency; payer; source; quote validity; cash due; refund terms;
transfer ID. Reconcile reimbursements once. Do not add fan spending to school cash.

FAN ACCESS
Tickets / transport / lodging / care / accessibility / missed work / advance cash.
Funded student and family support; capacity; availability; cancellation exposure.

TRAVEL — one row per actual segment of a unique journey
Journey ID / event ID / party type / aggregate origin region / destination:
Mode / people / distance / unit / one-way, return or segment / occupancy:
Room-nights / price / currency / payer / source / quote date / expiry / refund:
Emissions factor / unit / source / version / CO2 or CO2e / boundary / exclusions:
Vehicle-distance factors use vehicles; passenger-distance factors use passengers.
Do not multiply by occupancy twice. Count repeated sessions without duplicating trips.
Missing factor-compatible inputs => missing estimate. No automatic campus fan origins.

LOCAL ACTIVITY — not net welfare
Daily rooms sold if licensed; rates and revenue separately; defined city/catchment.
Public-service costs; displacement; local substitution; leakage; source coverage.
Tax allocations require period and adjustment reconciliation. Quarterly != daily.

STUDY GATE
Observed 2024/2025 events; pre-event matching and exclusions; at least two years
comparable coverage. Proposed window -7/+7 days; sensitivity -14/+14. Freeze before
outcomes. Holidays/weather/other events; pre-trends/placebos; few-city inference.
No causal estimate if data or design fails. No data collected in this pack.

ACCEPTANCE
Both venue cases comparable; source each range; preserve missing inputs; reconcile
school net cash; cost access; certify operations. Four accounts stay separate.
