Morgantown, West Virginia's city council passed a law Tuesday to ban upholstered furniture outdoors, WV Public Broadcasting reports. Why? Because West Virginia University students won't stop burning couches outside.

The new law prohibits people from keeping couches in their yards or unenclosed porches. According to WV Public, violators will receive a written warning, and then fines of up to $500.

Exactly how is the Big 12 a joke? WVU does have somewhat of a reputation for partying, but is not significantly worse than other schools. There has been a crack down on this for the last several years. Most of the fires are started in dumpsters and a majority of those arrested for this type of activity are not from the area or even WVU students. All those people slamming “stupid hillbillies” please get some actual facts before posting.

It really has nothing to do with the hillbilly thing. It’s just that WVU doesn’t have the appeal of some of the schools B12 lost.

If there is a dispute as to whether a piece of furniture is a couch or an ottoman, they have an Ottoman Umpire make the call.
