BT Sport's current rights have gained it 5m subscribers including 1.8m via VM wholesale. If it won massive Premiership rights then it would be unable to bundle it free with broadband. Which is the whole point of it in the first place!

European Law prevents it as well - hence the bundled system of bidding. No one company can hold all five bundles.
