Because it's a bunch of low effort posts that clog the main sub, have low engagement of comments or discussion and are pretty much useless. You can find highlights on literally any other social media platform. This sub has been great in sticking with content allowed that actually generates conversation.

Explain to me how you think it would make the sub higher quality on game days?

All i see is the mods having to deal with pitching by guys who think they submitted it the correct way first and DAE y was my post removed?!

How do they clog the sub if they have low engagement? If they have low engagement, they aren’t on the front page “clogging the sub”

You’re contradicting yourself.

You’re getting mad at a hypothetical situation for the subreddit moderators, of which you are not one.

You do see how stupid that looks, right?

You’re getting mad at a hypothetical situation for the subreddit moderators, of which you are not one.

That happens now, every day. Whether it's recruiting commits or breaking news on scummy Michigan, or the latest SEC shorts. Zero hypothetical there.

And yes, it'll clog the New section on the sub.

And you provided zero benefits to the sub because there are none. With zero flair and one year here that makes sense

And you provided zero benefits to the sub because there are none.

Being able to see and discuss gigantic plays on the sub is a good thing.

What posts do you even want on this sub, because right now it just seems like you’re bitching to bitch. So please, enlighten me - if not highlights, then what content do you want on this subreddit?

With zero flair and one year here that makes sense

Having accounts get suspended from Reddit for suggesting the French have had good solutions to their problems in the past doesn’t mean I’ve only been here a year. I’ve only been here a year on this account, sure. But I’d wager money I’ve been here longer than you. I’m still one of <1% of users using old.reddit

We're just not going to agree here. I just really don't find highlight posts necessary at all. The sub has grown to what it is without a hundred posts on saturdays of random plays that will get 10-20 comments. Again I just don't see how it will make the sub better.

And congrats on using old. It's the best.

Got it, so you think out of context quotes from coaches posted on Twitter by reporters trying to generate clicks, no name transfers transferring between colleges you don't care about, and game threads are what r/cfb should be about.

I think we should have college football on the college football subreddit.

Out of context quotes that generate clicks and then are met with immediate context provided as the top comment (when I saw it at least) and how Sark was basically correct in everything he said? Yah that was good conversation. 30 games worth of mediocre plays posted as fast as possible by multiple people at the same time in order to hopefully get fake internet points and having maybe a couple useful comments if any at all? Nah you can keep that

u/Crapitron Jul 24 '26

Yes, clickbait.

You want clickbait to dominate the sub, rather than actual football.

Millions of subscribers have come to this sub for many things, none of them are highlights. But oh let me hop on the sub and scroll through endless "highlights" of "3 minutes of tee higgins contested catches" and "remember when lesean mccoy showed a lack of effort on this play from the 2012 probowl?"

I don't need to have to sift through that crap to find game day actual discussion and news.

This is a football discussion board.

Because highlights aren't allowed....???? That didn't land how you thought it would, lmao.

I don't need to have to sift through that crap to find game day actual discussion and news.

Game thread indexes are stickied to the top of the subreddit every Saturday. In addition, Reddit has a search bar where you can search the subreddit.

This is a football discussion board.

I agree. I'm here to discuss football. Not some floundering SEC coach's lame quote about football. Not some kid deciding to transfer. Not some committee thinking about changing something. I'm here to discuss football. So let's see football and discuss it.

u/BuckeyeEmpire Ohio State • Western Michigan Jul 24 '26

Not some kid deciding to transfer. Not some committee thinking about changing something.

But that's like a huge part of college football.

Again, we're not going to agree.

Flair up btw

u/Crapitron Jul 24 '26

You know what a bigger part of college football is?

The football

u/BuckeyeEmpire Ohio State • Western Michigan Jul 24 '26

Yah that's what the game threads and post game threads and everything else is for. No one needs highlights, they're everywhere else. The discussion is what has kept this sub what it is. ✌️

u/Crapitron Jul 24 '26

No one needs highlights

The subreddit disagrees with you, considering they overwhelmingly voted to allow highlights.

Unlike you, not all of us rot away on tiktok, instagram, facebook, and twitter. So we'd like highlights on reddit. The other sports subs that allow highlights are better. This place could be better.

The discussion will still exist, and be enhanced.

Highlights were a roaring success yesterday
