In meysubb/ncaaR: Scrape NCAA (College) stats

ncaaR

This R package provides easy access to college sports (NCAA) data via stats.ncaa.org. Note if you are trying to get baseball data, I would look at Bill Petti's baseballr pkg.

Here are the list of sports that this package covers.

| names | id | |:------------------------|:----| | baseball | MBA | | mens basketball | MBB | | football | MFB | | mens ice hockey | MIH | | mens lacrosse | MLA | | mens soccer | MSO | | mens tennis | MTE | | mens volleyball | MVB | | womens basketball | WBB | | field hockey | WFH | | womens ice hockey | WIH | | womens lacrosse | WLA | | softball | WSB | | womens soccer | WSO | | womens beach volleyball | WSV | | womens tennis | WTE | | womens volleyball | WVB |

Also this package will scale to more years as the NCAA makes data available. Right now stats.ncaa.org is slowly providing more data! VERY EXCITING!

Install

# from github:
# devtools::install_github("meysubb/ncaaR")

Example

I'll put together a Vignette once a few more functions are finished up.

Let's try and run something.

teams <- team_mapping(2016,"Men's Basketball")
head(teams,6)

##   team_id         team_name year
## 4   26172  A&M-Corpus Chris 2016
## 5       2 Abilene Christian 2016
## 6     721         Air Force 2016
## 7       5             Akron 2016
## 8       8           Alabama 2016
## 9       6       Alabama A&M 2016

I like Texas A&M for obvious reasons. So we'll go with them, for reference the TAMU id is 697 across all sports.

TAMU Women Soccer's season stats in 2015 look like:

kable(team_season_stats(697, 2015, "Women's Soccer"))

Alright the Aggies had a good basketball team in 2015-2016, let's look at the player's season stat. Note for seasons Year1-Year2, Year2 is what you want to use in the functions. For example the 2015 to 2016 season is denoted for 2016.

Lastly let's take a look at the schedule and results for the TAMU Women's VolleyBall team.

Functionality

This package should be functional for all sports except for Football. The next update should have full functionality for Football as well.

There are three main functions that provide data of interest: (1) team_season_stats = Overall team stats (2) player_season_stats = Full season player stats (3) team_schedule = Team Schedule/Result/Site/Record

Future Work

I'm looking to add functionality. What you should expect shortly: (1) game_by_game = Team stats by game. (2) player_ind_stats = An individual player's stats by game. (3) College Football Functionality. (4) Attendance (per game/season avg) (5) Play by Play data (as available) (6) Weekly Rankings (AP and CFP) (7) Recruiting Details (From 247 sports)

If you'd like to suggest anything (can be sport specific or general), create a github issue. Or tweet at me @msubbaiah1.
