espn_cfb_team_stats(team_id = 52, year = 2020)Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team-in-season endpoint
sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/teams/{team_id}.
Unlike the site-v2 team payload, the core-v2 resource is season-scoped, so
a team's conference grouping is resolved for the requested year. The
result is a single-row data frame. Team ids are ESPN team identifiers –
enumerate them with espn_cfb_teams().
When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog
(espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined
in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation,
team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name,
team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color,
team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after
team_id.
A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set
team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.
