They've already been working on securing new and improved rights deals, over the past 12 months, adding new content to their portfolio of sports.

"Sky Sports secured 25 new rights agreements in 2014, and that has continued this year with recent deals for international and domestic cricket with the ECB and exclusively live coverage of the Open Championship from 2017, as well as even more Premier League football from 2016."
I can't see SKY dropping their price once the Champions League goes based on this article in the Daily Mirror:

"Sky boss Jeremy Darroch yesterday suggested it was less reliant on the Premier League than before.
He said: “We like the Premier League. But the whole point of the business is about broadening the offer.”
That means a wider range of sports, including snatching golf’s Open Championships from the BBC, plus more of its own entertainment programmes."
