Lineman Eli Fields took out a federal loan for over $20k to fund a men’s clothing store, but the UP could not find any record of its existence. He sent the UP a cease and desist letter before leaving the football team.
Eli Fields, former offensive lineman for the FAU football team, received a loan for more than $20,000 from the federal government for his clothing business in April, courtesy of the Paycheck Protection Program.
The UP cannot find evidence of any business run by the former player, nor can an expert accountant.
