Most probably a pipe dream, but you never know!
On another note, there would be a good market share for Football League (Old division 2-4 - yup showing my age a bit) rights. Many people who are not glory supporters and support their local teams as much as they can afford to, would probably love to watch their team on TV 5-6 times a season.

Isn't it just as likely, given their friendly-ish relationship with Sky, that they would focus on winning one of the BT packages - most likely not the first picks but the other lower priority games which BT might try to bid less for?
In my opinion though this next rights auction will be too high for what they are willing to pay.
