I believe on reddit (not a source, just saying), a student attributed it to football players?

In any case - I'm at hopeful (strange word choice) that it was just a one-off event due to that removal from the party. A worse scenario is the targeting of a fraternity because they're a fraternity. I only say that because of the size of the group and the fact that many were - according to the news article - wearing masks. (I couldn't tell if they meant regular face masks or a mask which covers their whole face)

I agree that it was a 100% one-off event and someone (or multiple people) were targeted. Based on what the student told me, the most common rumor was this was an act of revenge.

Good find. In the Oxford Observer they're now noting ...

A post containing comments about the incident captioned “The Return of the Bash Bros” was uploaded to the football team’s official Instagram account on Sunday.

Looking at the video the assailants certainly don't look big enough to be American Football players to me. But then I forgot this is at a Mid-American Conference school so it's possible they are.

Something sort of similar happened to Bloomsburg's Zeta Psi fraternity several years ago. Sadly, a kid almost died. Unfortunately, when people choose to act crazy, this is the consequence.

An awful story but you're right, it is the consequence of bad behavior. Thanks for sharing.
