Most campuses, and, many national GLO organizations do not want kegs for legal liability reasons - Large beverage containers are considered more liable for damages than say, having 20 cases of beer instead (I think of it as a keg in easy to carry individual servings....) - but, the attorney's can easily run amuck when problems arise especially with a keg. Why the distinction? I really don't know...perhaps someone can shed some light on this for all of us.
It's the so-called "common-container" rules - apparently individual servings contribute less to breaking the laws and endangering the youth of america, so kegs (along with 'trashcan punch' etc) fall under common-container laws.

Just something else to throw at people serving under-age kids, sort of like "serving w/out a license" and other such laws.

(btw - around 7 cases to a keg)
