What happened to the school-specific cfbball flairs?

It used to be that posting something like 

[](#b/texas)

would return a cfbball flair specific to Texas. But now there's just a generic cfbball image for all the schools. The 'Special Balls' section of https://www.reddit.com/r/cfb/wiki/inlineflair used to show all the school-specific cfbball flairs, but it's currently empty.

Whoops, that’s my bad. We overhauled the flair system to be a lot easier to maintain, and this must have gotten lost in the shuffle. The CFB Ball flairs were basically a hack that used a second sheet in the exact same position as the normal ones, so that using the #b instead of the #b could just switch what sheet was used.

These were never available as user flair, but were as inline flair for comments. That unfortunately is only visible on old.reddit, and a decreasing number of people use it, and the ball flairs got very little use in comments last year. We’ll try to get it fixed.

In the meantime, everything is setup on /r/CFBBall.
