Load conference and division names by season (MBB / NBA) from the data repo

Loads one row per group per season it existed, with the group's name, short name, abbreviation, and parent group as of that season rather than today's labels, plus its member count. load_mbb_group_seasons() reads the mbb_groups release tag and load_nba_group_seasons() the nba_groups tag.

Usage

load_mbb_group_seasons(..., dbConnection = NULL, tablename = NULL)

load_nba_group_seasons(..., dbConnection = NULL, tablename = NULL)

Arguments

...

Additional arguments passed to an underlying function that writes the data into a database.
