alks between FFA and the clubs will continue over finding the best operating model for the A-League following their recent powe

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- A week off couldnt have come at a better time for Arkansas, both physically and mentally following a 56-3 drubbing at the hands of No. 11 Auburn two weeks ago.The Southeastern Conference grind doesnt get any easier this week for the Razorbacks (5-3, 1/3 SEC) as they prepare to host No. 10 Florida on Saturday. At least theyll have quarterback Austin Allen under center as they try to avoid losing a 10th straight game to the Gators (6-1, 4-1).That likely wouldnt have been the case had Arkansas played last week, with Allen still recovering from an injury he suffered to his right knee in the blowout loss to the Tigers.The bye week came at a good time in that regard, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said.Bielema said Allen didnt practice last week because of the injury, but the junior was back on the field for practice on Sunday.Allen, who is second in the SEC in passing efficiency in his first season as the starter, was injured on a hit from behind from Auburn defensive end Carl Lawson. The quarterback admitted last week he thought the injury was pretty bad at first, but he was able to return to the game.The Razorbacks will need their starting quarterback in peak form if they hope to compete on Saturday with a Florida team thats second in country in total defense , allowing just 239.9 yards per game. The Gators also average three sacks per game and are facing an Arkansas offensive line thats allowed 20 this season, the schools highest total under Bielema.Arkansas will also need Allen to help lead the way back from the humiliation of the Auburn loss, Bielemas worst in his four seasons at Arkansas.I dont think you totally flush (the Auburn loss), ever, Arkansas offensive coordinator Dan Enos said. Can you dwell on it? No. Can you learn from it and have it motivate you? Absolutely.Despite the severity of the loss to the Tigers, Arkansas third in its last five games, the Razorbacks are still 11-4 in their last 15.Thats one of the reasons Bielema has remained positive about Arkansas ability to bounce back from such a difficult loss, along with the fact the game was the Razorbacks eighth straight to open the season.To have to have jumped back into a game (would have been difficult), Bielema said. Eight games is a long stretch without a bye ... One of the biggest things we had to do was let them recharge a little bit. Yeezy Sale Nz .

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Expansion is officially back on the A-League agenda after a meeting between club chairmen and Football Federation Australia head honchos in Melbourne.According to a FFA statement, there was a broad agreement reached between all parties that expansion of the competition should be a strategic priority, but only if economically sustainable.Its believed FFA and the clubs see expansion as a way to add content, and thus increased value, to the A-Leagues new broadcast deal, which is currently in negotiation.Everyone recognises a new club needs to be successful in its own right, but equally importantly, should be a benefit to the entire game and help grow the pie for everyone, FFA chief executive David Gallop told AAP.It is a further sign the A-League is poised to grow in the near future after Gallop said at last weeks season launch that he wants to add new teams fairly quickly, but refused to set a timeframe for the process.The new A-League TV deal will kick in from the 2017-18 season, and a sizeable increase in money paid for the rights is the key to any form of expansion given existing clubs are unwilling to divide their current distributions any further.Expansion remains a hot-button topic in football circles, with Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou in his new book urging FFA to grow the league and rebuking the governing body for its over-cautious approach.The A-League has kept the same 10 clubs since the demise of Gold Coast United, replaced for the 2012-13 season by Western Sydney.Hoowever, there is a growing sense the competition is becoming stale and the sports boom in popularity is not being adequately catered for, with only nine of those clubs based in Australia.ddddddddddddThere is also increasing debate around the concept of promotion and relegation as well as the introduction of a national second division.Meanwhile, talks between FFA and the clubs will continue over finding the best operating model for the A-League following their recent power wrangle.A-League clubs want better representation in decision making at FFA and also an improved share of revenue, with some calling for the competition to be run independently.However, Gallop said that would not be happening.The suggestion that a break away from the FFA is imminent is off the mark, Gallop said.The recent FIFA/AFC visit has seen an in-principle agreement to make some changes and FFA is committed to work collaboratively with all the games stakeholders to reach a model that meets the games future needs.Adelaide United chairman Greg Griffin - also the head of the Australian Professional Football Clubs Association, formed last month to give owners more lobbying power - said the meeting was collaborative and productive.It included extensive discussion about exploring the optimum commercial model for the Hyundai A-League and its next phase of growth and expansion, he said.
