Report: Social media, bars fueled street riot

CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — A commission formed in the aftermath of the drunken riot in Cortland after a college football game last fall places part of the blame on social media fueling rowdy behavior and local bars promoting binge drinking.

The 82-page report released June 1 by the College and Community Commission looked at the causes of the street riot in Cortland on Nov. 15, the day the State University of New York at Cortland played nearby archrival Ithaca College in the annual Cortaca Jug game.
