Tim Cahill has thrown his support behind Football Federation Australias tripling of its marquee war chest that brought the veteran Socceroos striker home to the A-League.As part of its record new six-year, $346 million TV deal with Fox Sports, the governing body has pledged to set aside $3 million annually for its marquee fund in a bid to attract more high-profile recruits.Cahill to date is the only player with enough of a marketing reach to have persuaded FFA to dip into the fund, having joined Melbourne City in August.He said glamour signings were crucial to raise the games profile in a highly competitive Australian market.Theyre important for each club, Cahill said.It helps the fans, it helps the exposure.We have to really focus on getting kids and families to games.Before this year, marquee recruitment was primarily the responsibility of clubs, with FFA chipping in behind the scenes.But in acknowledgement of the urgent need to boost the league, the organisation in March dedicated $1 million to help finance big-name signings, with the goal to expand the pot significantly once long-term TV revenue was secure.With the new television deal now done and a free-to-air component still to come, FFA chief executive David Gallop said there was no better time.Weve had great success by making an investment into a new fund this season, Gallop said.Exhibit A is (Tim Cahill) and were adding $2 million.Stars work in sport, and well work with our clubs to chase marquee players.Didier Drogba is the latest star to be linked with a potential A-League move following a report Western Sydney are exploring the option of signing the former Chelsea striker.The Wanderers also made an unsuccessful bid for Robbie Keane, while Dimitar Berbatovs name crept onto the clubs radar earlier this month.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- With Hurricane Matthew approaching, the South Carolina-Georgia football game is still on for Saturday night, even though Gov. Nikki Haley says she cant imagine the game being played as scheduled.Several other games in the Palmetto State were affected with Football Championship Subdivision teams Charleston Southern and South Carolina State postponing their Saturday contests. Citadel, another FCS school, moved its game to the campus of Division II opponent North Greenville and will play Thursday night instead of Saturday.But the biggest contest of the weekend is scheduled for Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium, where upward of 80,000 fans turn out to watch Southeastern Conference matchups.South Carolina administrators said Tuesday they were consulting with the SEC, the National Weather Service and local authorities and would make a decision about the game later in the week.Matthew is a Category 4 storm with winds up to 145 mph. It is on track to hit South Carolina and potentially disrupt the game at Williams-Brice Stadium.The storm was about 1,000 miles from Charleston on Tuesday. But forecasters predict the hurricane will move near or along South Carolinas coast late Friday into early Saturday as a Category 2 storm.Charleston Southern, located about 20 miles from the coast, canceled several sporting events the rest of the week, including its football game with Albany State.

I would love nothing more than to see this take a right-hand turn and go out to sea.South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said hes not involved in planning for the storm because hes too busy looking into how to slow down Georgias offense.Our administration is handling all of that through the SEC office, he said. All of my energy is game planning for the game. Whatever happens happens. Im not the least bit worried about it.No. 3 Clemson is on the road this week, playing Friday night at Boston College. The Tigers are scheduled to leave Thursday and should miss any potentially bad weather.The only other FCS game scheduled for Saturday in the Palmetto State was Furman hosting Samford in Greenville, far from the coastal areas where the storms heaviest impacts are expected.
