Higher rights costs get passed to the consumer. That’s a simple economic fact. The only chance the costs to the end user would come down is if they could bring new customers in to spread the costs across a larger customer base. As Sky have had twenty years ton develop their base (including Sky Sports subscribers on other platforms) I consider this unlikely in the extreme.
