Aggregate player statistics for a NCAA conference and seasons

This is a wrapper around group_stats() that extracts season, match, or pbp data from players in all teams in the chosen conference. For season stats, it aggregates all player data and team data into separate data frames and combines them into a list. For match and pbp stats, it aggregates into a data frame. Conferences names can be found in ncaa_conferences.

Usage

conference_stats(
  year = NULL,
  conf = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  sport = "WVB",
  save = FALSE,
  path = "."
)
