Not directly related to this topic but I thought the last paragraph was relevant.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/mar/19/premier-league-championship-tv-dealJohn Whittingdale, the Tory MP who is the chairman of the culture, media and sport select committee that recently compiled a critical report on football governance, told the Guardian that the status quo was "unsustainable" and that more money needed to flow through the FA to the grassroots. "In our view, the FA needs to be much more clearly the body that governs the whole national game and we need to get back to reducing the power of the Premier League within it. If that is achieved, it will follow on that football as a whole benefits from the sale of broadcasting rights rather than just players and agents."
I think the AFL is heading down the same track as the EPL.
Here is another story related to the EPL spending.
