Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

With the bidding process for Premiership rights starting later this year it seems most think that BT Sport will push SKY hard, and even win the lions share of rights. What nobody seems to be considering is what happens if SKY bid big, and win the majority of rights, leaving BT with just one package of matches equating to 23 games?

As we've seen over the past 6 months, SKY have been working hard securing long term deals for various sports. Between SKY and BT the vast majority of sports are nailed down for the near future. Would 23 Premiership games and European football rights be enough to keep BT Sports viable?
