The good news is it's a plus whenever a sports section reports on wrestling.
Then....they don't exactly get things right.

Won their second straight championship, lost their second straight championship . . . same difference.
Probably written by a nature nut alum who did not go to Ohio State to play school either.
It's gonna be the same everywhere. Was an AP article, they screwed it up. Individual papers rarely edit AP.
Unfortunately, "everywhere" is pretty limited, because newspapers aren't even interested in copying and pasting wrestling articles. One that, I think, got it right, except only mentioning Snyder in the last sentence, http://sandhillsexpress.com/huskers...pionships-jordan-burroughs-wins-fourth-title/
Given that the Sandhills Express is a Nebraska-based online newspaper (the "newspaper" is based in Broken Bow, just southeast of the geographic center of the state, as well as the two radio stations also owned by the same company), I think their focus on former Huskers is completely understandable.
I was going to go all Jim Gibbons on you, but I'll refrain. I understand why they focused on those two guys. My point was that someone at that paper did more than copy and paste an AP article (and got their info correct), and secondly, that despite their focus on those guys, Snyder's effort deserved a little more than it got, IMO.
My nerdiness goes far beyond geography, kind sir.
You could say the same thing about any local paper and their coverage. See link to the CDT article about Zain's results where Snyder is mentioned only briefly at the end.

Must have been a Pitter writing the article. They are used to championships being awarded for nothing.
