The premier league auction the rights, sky buy them, the clubs get financial renumeration, they pay top players top money to stay in the top league to carry on getting top money, and so it carries on. Cutting players wages won't stop it, they don't price the bid on players wages, they price it on the product popularity and who are daft enough to pay it.
