Sky see BT as more of a threat than VM for their sports rights.
Why would they 'help the competition' by giving them 75 million a year? It may please their punters but they've seen off Setanta and ESPN, they're probably hoping to do the same with BT.

I doubt sky had any intention of attempting a wholesale deal with BT.

Just edited to add, if there was talk between them i'd imagine the wholesale of sky sports channels to BT was a 'must have'.
Selling BT Sports wholesale to VM will certainly help their court case against sky refusing to let BT carry SS 3 and 4
