Nooooooooo chance. They are going to stick their many millions of pounds they have saved and keep it for a rainy day which will be when the PL packages come around again. They simply can't afford to not have the bulk of PL games. I wouldn't be surprised if Sky lost the bulk of the PL league games next round and BT grabbed them, all three (Sky, VM* and BT) would be pretty much level on subscriber numbers once it had all settled down.
*assuming that BT was still free on XL
