ESPN College Football Teams Index

Description

Get the full ESPN directory of college football teams – one row per team with identifiers, branding, conference grouping, and logo URLs.

Usage

espn_cfb_teams()

Details

Wraps the ESPN site-v2 expanded teams endpoint site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/teams. The expanded endpoint returns every team fully inlined in a single call (no ⁠$ref⁠ dereferencing), so one request produces the whole directory. The team_id column is the ESPN team identifier used as the team_id argument to the other ⁠espn_cfb_team_*()⁠ wrappers.
