Virgin choose (for marketing reasons) to include BT Sport with top-tier, and I dare say the economics & financials add-up that much better because they do.
It's the same with any other bundled channels that you don't want.. I've got very little interest in most of what Sky Arts or Discovery Home broadcast, but I don't expect a discount because of it.
If and when the economics mean that VM can't remain competitive on top-tier without removing the costs of BT Sport and charging separately, I don't see it changing. If anything, they probably gain more premium-customers by including it.
