Florida football coach Urban Meyer is two weeks into his indefinite leave of absence. And that pretty much is all anyone outside of Meyer's inner circle knows about the situation.Where Meyer is spending his mandated time off and what he's doing is unknown. So are the results of the stress and heart tests Meyer said he was going to have this month, or whether he has already had them or will have to undergo more.Interim head coach Steve Addazio's additional duties - or even if he has any - and the assistant coaches' official assignments have not been announced, either."The situation is very fluid and things will continue to change," said Steve McClain, UF's associate athletics director for communications. "Right now the focus is on making sure Urban's healthy."Meyer's leave of absence was supposed to begin following Florida's 51-24 victory over Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1. He did take some time off - a day and a half, he said when he held an impromptu news conference during halftime of UF's basketball game against South Carolina on Jan. 23 - but still remained active in recruiting.Meyer didn't travel but did call recruits and was involved in the on-campus recruiting visits. According to McClain, though, that is far less than Meyer's normal January routine. In past years, Meyer would be on the road every permissible day and often would visit several cities and schools in one day."If you compare it to what he was usually doing, it was very different," McClain said. "He made a lot of changes."StubHub.com click here for The Safe Way to Buy & Sell Tickets Online
