All-time letterwinners (media guides)

Every letterwinner the schools’ own football media guides list in their all-time letterwinner lists, read from the guides’ scans on the Internet Archive (its college-football-media-guides collection) through the Archive’s OCR text, merged across each program’s guides: one row per name and the seasons he lettered. Only lines that read cleanly are kept (a name and whole years, the given name one our records know); managers are left out; witnesses counts the guide editions that list the same name and years. player_id is the one player page of that name with a season at the team within a year of those years; otherwise the name is text only. identifier and page are the guide (archive.org/details/<identifier>) and its page. Browse only: the guides carry no license, so only the facts are shown.
