Attorney, former NCAA investigator for Jim Tressel investigation, set to represent Chase Young
Published:
Back in 2011, Ohio State had a scandal involving tattoos. Jim Tressel was the head coach of the Buckeyes back then.
One of the investigators working for the NCAA at the time was attorney Tim Nevius. In 2012, though, Nevius switched from the NCAA to backing players. He led a federal antitrust lawsuit challenging the NCAA for the compensation for Division I athletes.
And now, Nevius is representing Ohio State’s Chase Young.

Here’s a message from Nevius on Twitter:
Chase took a small loan from a close family friend last year to cover basic life expenses. Loan was repaid months ago and we’re working to restore his eligibility. Unfair and outdated @NCAA rules punish athletes for making ends meet while enriching everyone else. https://t.co/2Jsqj7f7TR

Nevius and Young are going to try and get the star Buckeye back on the field. It is going to have to go through the NCAA in order to do it though, as Young is currently suspended indefinitely.
