In Homecoming Weekend Disorder

Oneonta is not alone in struggling with student rowdiness off campus this fall.

This past weekend was Homecoming Weekend at SUNY Brockport, and after 1,000 students poured into the downtown after the Brockport-St. John Fisher football game, Brockport Police Chief Daniel Varrenti closed bars at 1 a.m. to prevent further disorder.

Here are reports on the weekend and its aftermath from the Democrat & Chronicle, Rochester, and local TV stations:
