SEC Fans Are Worried Jersey Shore Clones Are Ruining Their Way Of Life

Gen Zs and Millennials across the South want their college campuses back. 

Like white hairs from New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Canada and Michigan flocking to Florida for their retirement years and infuriating the locals, SEC schools are now dealing with what some say could destroy the fabric of their communities –-- the Jersey Shore effect. 

There were two major moments over the weekend that have people worried about the influx of Northerners to their campuses: A shirtless, fist-pumping, and humping bro giving off Jersey Shore vibes and a New Jersey group throwing a party in The Grove before Ole Miss faced Kentucky. 

Has the SEC gone too far in welcoming Northerners who are looking to escape their lib hellholes during their college years? 

"Stop the yankee invasion of the SEC," an Instagram analyst wrote on a video featuring a shirtless Bama fan dancing on a stage like he was in Seaside Heights, NJ. 

"Tired of yankees infiltrating," Alabama student Ella Davis wrote. "It’s jersey. It’s always jersey. Stay at Rutgers," a guy named Ben fired back. 

On Friday, just before Shirtless Bama Fan danced on the stage, the Wall Street Journal published a story titled "Sorry, Harvard. Everyone Wants to Go to College in the South Now." 

But why?

"Their parents cite lower tuition and less debt, and warmer weather. College counselors also say many teens are eager to trade the political polarization ripping apart campuses in New England and New York for the sense of community epitomized by the South’s football Saturdays. Promising job prospects after graduation can sweeten the pot."
