Greg Dykes planned reforms at the Football Association will go before the organisations 123-strong council on Wednesday.
Dusty Baker Jersey . The outgoing FA chairman is proposing a series of measures to make the council more modern and representative of the wider football community.Sky Sports News HQ understands councillors are keen to learn more about Dykes proposals and are not scared of change but have to be convinced any alterations will be for the good of the game in the long run. The governance reform has the approval of the FA board, but four of 12 board members voted against and Dyke has acknowledged it is going to be a fight to get through council.Among the proposals is a limit on the numbers of years a council member can serve: one current member has been in situ since the 1960s and Dyke wants a maximum of three three-year terms.The average age of members is mid-60s and of the 123 just six are women and four from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Former FA Chairman Lord Triesman sympathises with Dyke Councillors maintain they are not simply trying to look after their own positions and it is understood a fair number of them are unimpressed with how Dyke has tried to railroad his way through the process.Their belief is the scattergun approach he has adopted has upset many and while they feel the professional game looks after itself, they say the game needs their protection at grassroots level.One told us: The number of tickets we receive is not the issue. There are more unpaid volunteers in football than there are paid.Tickets for England and FA Cup games get passed on to the counties and provide a small way of rewarding those at grassroots level who give their time for free.Another added: We dont go about shouting from the rooftops about the hard work we put in. We get called the blazers yet were all putting our heart and soul into the game. Greg Dykes approach to his proposed reforms has upset a number of the FAs 123 councillors Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Dyke, who will step down in the summer rather than stand for a further year, said: It will not be that big a day for the FA as no decisions will be made today.Whats happened is that the board has come up with proposals for change, council are now going to discuss them and the board will go back and discuss what the council has said. So this isnt the day it will all be decided.What the board wants to achieve is to change the make-up of the council particularly so that it more accurately reflects society in the second decade of the 21st century.

MADISON, Wis. -- Bart Houston began the season as Wisconsins starting quarterback before losing his job to Alex Hornibrook.With Hornibrook listed as questionable with a head injury for the Big Ten title game against No. 8 Penn State (10-2, 8-1 Big Ten) on Saturday, the No. 6 Badgers (10-2, 7-2) may have to turn back to Houston. A fifth-year senior, Houston rallied the Badgers to a 31-17 victory over Minnesota last Saturday.No doubt hes given us a spark a number of times, its been good to see, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said Monday.Houston took over for Hornibrook when he was injured late in the second quarter against the Golden Gophers and led Wisconsin to 24 second-half points. Wide receiver Jazz Peavy said Houstons fun-loving persona helps keep the team loose no matter what the situation is.In the fourth quarter we were going into one of these drives and Bart comes into the huddle telling jokes and stuff like that, Peavy said with a laugh. Im thinking this guys really relaxed right now and Im locked in and focused.Peavy, whose 71-yard scamper on a jet sweep set up Corey Clements 2-yard touchdown run to snap a 17-17 tie, said Houston has a ffun, goofy personality that bodes well in pressure situations.

He cares about this team and has confidence in himself.
