Incorrect, Sky Customers get it free if they are with BT Broadband. Virgin Customers might get it in the XL Pack and/or at a lower rate than non BT Broadband subscribers with Sky, possible a delay being that Virgin open up a system whereby BT Broadband customers can activate free BT Sports for free.
This system was already in place with Sky, however isn't with Virgin Media so technical hurdles have to be overcome.

You will find out, its a very likely chance that a deal will have been done already, but BT have embargoed it to the very last minute to scoop up subscribers (like yourselves) who rush to other platforms to get it because they fear they wont be able to watch it.
If Virgin were not getting it and knew by now they weren't they would say rather than keep banging on about it with the sign up for info news.
The fact they have a sign up page is promising...
