Authority and scope
Conference record books and annual releases are the authority for all-conference teams. NCAA consensus records and policy are the authority for consensus and unanimous All-Americans. Selectors and team levels are stored separately rather than merged.
Historical coverage
Every expected Power Four conference-season and national season has a coverage record marked complete, partial, unavailable, or not published. Missing historical tiers are never reconstructed or implied.
Identity matching
A profile link requires a unique name, school, and season roster match or an explicit reviewed player ID. Ambiguous and unmatched names remain public sourced facts, and no synthetic player profile is created.
