In the end it comes down to one thing - the customer. I think in all seriousness, that the customer demands the best of everything for what they pay, if VM for example wanted to offer the Sky sports package at say a fiver a month, then surely they will lose money, if they pay Sky prices, and when it come to clubs losing money, l can't see how, the only thing l would like to see, where Sky are forced to cover games below the championship, where money is needed.
Ie when the last time you watched game from the Blue Square or watched Crewe play, its these games and players that provide the 'meat' for the big clubs.

No one wants to watch Blue Square games, as proved when they've actually been shown. Setanta's viewing figures for the BSP were abysmal.
The system as it is now works quite well, the tickle down effect has kept clubs going for years. The only problem with it now is more and more clubs buying foreign talent rather than looking at the lower divisions, that's not an issue for sky, it's one for the football leagues.
