Where SEC Alums Live

This is a list based on each schools linkedin profile and looks at those from each school who "attended" through 2010. 2010 is used because it filters out most of the kids still on campus (which bumps up the college town and doesn't give a true listing). Keep in mind, these are "metro areas", so for instance the Ole Miss folks living in "Florence, AL" probably actually live in Northeast Mississippi somewhere.

In parentheses is the total "alums" of each school, which is pretty interesting as well.
