Motivation edit
Sports-Reference.com is a popular stats website frequently used in Wikipedia external links. In addition to accessing overview information about a given school with the formatter URL, these IDs can also be used to access information for a given season just by adding the year; e.g. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/$1/$2.html (where $2 is the year of the season). These season pages are also frequently linked to on Wikipedia.
Before anyone asks, no, these IDs are not interchangeable with Sports-Reference.com's college basketball school IDs, so we can't make a property that encompasses both sports. There is at least one instance in which the same school has different IDs in basketball and football (CFB: cumberland, CBB: cumberland-university). –IagoQnsi (talk) 16:24, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
