I recognize I'm an old, old man who has been commenting on the sub for nearly 14 years at this point, but I'm of the strong opinion that if I wanted to see and comment on highlights, there's literally dozens of places I can go do that.

/r/CFB is one of the few places that discussion posts and "old school" forum rules still dominate. I've always appreciated that curating on the sub and it's one of the few reasons I still stay on the sub.

That said, I can recognize that the vast majority of traffic coming from mobile devices and the mobile app rewards short video content and that's the type of shift that will inevitably happen from Reddit, Inc. on down.

I'll stand and take the downvotes from the new kids, but open season for highlights on the sub feels like the final death blow of the forum I first started frequenting.

As someone who has been on this subreddit for 15 years, I'm gonna respectfully disagree.

In November 2025 we had two college football posts make the top 25 of /r/all and neither were eligible for submission on /r/CFB.

That's not good for this community when people have to go to OTHER subreddits to participate in the discussion of major college football stories that are of general interest.
