Attorney Tim Nevius, A Former NCAA Investigator For 2011 Jim Tressel Investigation, to Represent Chase Young

The lawyer working to restore Chase Young's eligibility is quite familiar with the NCAA's processes and inner-workings, and he's no stranger to Ohio State, either.

Attorney Tim Nevius worked as an NCAA investigator for five years and was one of the two investigators that interviewed Jim Tressel during the 2011 investigator.

But after five years of working with the NCAA, Nevius switched sides in 2012 and led a federal antitrust lawsuit challenging NCAA rules that prohibit compensation for Division I athletes.

Now, Nevius is continuing to fight on behalf of athletes in a different and much more specific way as he is working on behalf of Young to restore his eligibility after the star defensive end was suspended indefinitely due to a potential NCAA violation.
