Sports fanatics seem to reach very deeply into their pockets to get the content they want to see, which is part of the problem.
If it is correct that BT want to overtake VM to become the second largest pay-tv provider. They aren't going to make that task any easier by making the BT Sports channels available to the masses on VM.
BT have already passed VM to become the largest fibre network. Sky's acquisition of Telefonica's fixed line / broadband service in the UK means that Sky will overtake VM to become the second largest broadband provider. The big players do seem to be attempting to force VM into third place in all markets.
