Build a wide, one-row-per-game crosswalk linking ESPN and Bart Torvik
(barttorvik.com/ncaaw) game identifiers for a WBB season. Fox Sports and
Yahoo game IDs are NA placeholders. Dates are reduced to Eastern-Time game
dates before joining; Torvik team1/team2 are unordered (the join uses
a sorted team-pair key, so home/away from the Torvik side is not preserved).
Games where either Torvik team name cannot be resolved to an ESPN id via
wbb_team_crosswalk() are kept as bart_only rows.
Usage
wbb_schedule_crosswalk(season = most_recent_wbb_season())Arguments
- season
Season year (4-digit, e.g.
2025). Defaults tomost_recent_wbb_season().
