It does seem strange that ever since BT announced the Champions league deal then Sky in the space of the month have announced 7 new sports rights deals and l do hope that the course of rights going out to proper tendering is being done in the right and correct manner and hope that some cosy deals are not being done hear without the proper due processes taking place.

I think you'll find Den if you read the article again that the Super League put the deal to the club owners to vote , obviously the majority accepted.
These deals certainly strengthen Sky Sports for the foreseeable future , apart from the EPL rights I'm not sure there's much of interest for BT to go after.
