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.
