Anyone confirm this article about Snyder being arrested is true? (Confirmed)
- Thread starter Bwifan
- Start date
Or stayed home …with his wife… in SC!
Will be hard for him to redeem himself in many ways… certainly cemented Wyatt Henderson replacing him as “Captain America”!
Not sure how it will affect his status with the NLWC or the upcoming competition, or his focus if he does compete..
This is much more drawn out timing, but reminds me of Eugene Robinson, who in the space of 36 hours, was named NFL Man of the Year, got caught in this type of situation, and, on the subsequent short night of sleep, was torched for two touchdowns in the Super Bowl!
Doesn't this young man have a wife and young child? What was he thinking
Cael will not look on this favorably

Right. But it is legal in many of Nevada’s other counties. Point was he should have been more careful.
Who were the other 15 men?Seems crazy only one was named.Oh,it's the media never mind.
By not doing this at all. Seriously doubt his wife would've felt better if he went to the Chicken Ranch instead.
In a way he's extremely lucky this was a sting. The real thing is insanely risky behavior -- begging to be robbed at gunpoint. Or worse.
He made the worst mistake of his life. Let’s be kind to him if see him around. I am sure he is completely angry with himself for a really crap decision. Can’t be a fun time for him. He’s human, and like all of us, need improvement
According to the PSU directory, he is listed as an employee.
Title: Wrestling Sport Camps Specialist
Business Area: Intercollegiate Athletics
As an employee, he is subject to HR-99 Background Verification Requirements, including the "Self-Disclosure Requirements for the Individual."
Even if was not a PSU employee, he would probably still be considered to be an "Affiliate" as a resident member of the NLWC.
Any employee or affiliate with a position that involves contact with children are subject to even more scrutiny. Both the PSU wrestling camps and the NLWC by virtue of being an RTC fall under this. I would think that USA wrestling would also be interested as well.
I would think that he will not be allowed on campus until this is resolved, and given the most likely resolution, not be allowed to continue as a member of the NLWC.
I think most people are underestimating the gravity of the situation here. Long term careers in wrestling are either coaching or running camps/clubs. Any criminal offence of a sexual nature would, and should, prevent employment in either avenue. His chances of a wrestling related career after he stops competing are very slim.

I’m no lawyer, but solicitation is not going to result in his being a registered sex offender. Right? It’s illegal and may violate some morality clause, but I don’t think it makes him a sexual predator.
In terms of Megan's Law sex offender registry, probably not unless the ads were for underage providers (which has not been reported, so highly unlikely).
But he's already listed as "temporarily suspended" under SafeSport. That status will affect his ability to work camps and take a coaching job.
To answer the question this embedded tweet will bring, the answer to “What is Snyder’s status for Final X” is TBD
This surprised me. I have to sit though SafeSport training, and pass a test, each year to be eligible to ref. Most of that deals with what would be considered inappropriate, what must be reported, and things along those lines with regards to being around underage athletes. At times, it's somewhat frustrating training, as it's a lot of buzzwords, and a good bit of fuzzy situations (i.e., things that are more gray than black-and-white). I didn't recall anything in SafeSport related to prostitution, but it's possible that the training I take is tailored to officials, and doesn't deal with prostitution.
Anyway, I decided to take a closer look at SafeSport (beyond the training I take/pass). There is a SafeSport code which gets updated each year. In the 2024 SafeSport code, which is all the rules of SafeSport for July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. I found the following:
IX. PROHIBITED CONDUCT
J. Violation of Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies / Proactive Policies
C. Sexual Misconduct
4. Sexual Exploitation
f. Engage(s) in solicitation of prostitution, or prostituting or trafficking another person
There is also a Centralized Disciplinary Database, which is accessible to the public. If you search it (which I did), Snyder is in the database. The relevant info (beyond his name, and Sport Affiliation (USA Wrestling) is:
Misconduct: Allegations of Misconduct
Action Taken: Temporary Suspension
Date of Issuance: 05/14/2025
My focus is on the l… my family and the person I was trying to sleep with please respect my decision. Lol
I have no knowledge of the parameters regarding sexual registries. However, any conviction or plea deal related to a sexual crime is going to be a big hinderance for him to further employment with coaching or running camps. At the college level and RTC, coaching involves contact with minors. Even a non-coaching position such as recruiting coordinator, etc. involves contact with minors. I would be surprised if he is able to find a career in wrestling once his competitive career is over.
Since you'te opining about on multiple boards that Snyder is unemployable within the sport, maybe look into SafeSport, why it exists, what it does?
I know what Safesport is and does, and he is already suspended. The reason I was opining on two different boards is because several people on both boards seem to be underestimating the potential impact of this arrest. This is not a speeding ticket or shoplifting. Given the way that wrestling is organized the the States with direct contact with minors at training clubs, colleges, and RTCs, I still believe it will be tough for him to get a job in wrestling in the States.
Rumor has it that Tom Ryan revoked his hotel privileges and ratted him out to the police. Probably not true, but that's the story I'm sticking with.

Sorry, whether he was going to wear a condom or not, is immaterial to the crime.
I am surprised that you qualified. I mean, of course you are intellectually elite, but damn, how did you skate through given your low moral grounding, or lack thereof?
This could have waited until Monday. @Tom McAndrew is out for the weekend and unable to defend himself.I am surprised that you qualified. I mean, of course you are intellectually elite, but damn, how did you skate through given your low moral grounding, or lack thereof?
Kyle's cousin is very good friends with my wife. The whole family is distraught over this and noted that they cannot fathom what kind of state of mind he was in to do this. He was in Ohio to do photoshoots/media with Rudis. As for the body cam footage that was released, the cousin said it was sold to media outlets by a disgruntled coach at OSU that Kyle did not get along with.....I saw the group message and ****** up and crying was used alot.
Assuming this is true, it never ceases to amaze me how petty and vindictive some people can be. smh
I am not sure about the validity of it but was there some friction between Snyder/OSU coaches that caused him to come to NLWC?
That is what I pause at. When my wife read me the message from the group chat, I gave her a look like you have to be kidding me.
I have to call BS on this. I have to think that the police released the bodycam footage
Folks believed unbelievable things about PSU over the last 10-15 years. Access to police body cam footage for a B10 athletic department with > $250M in annual revenue is baby
easy for them to do…without even spending a nickel.
