It's a shame the terrestrial channels couldn't have kept the rights to show live football league matches from the football league once the premier league had split (or did they for a period?)
It would be good to have Lower League matches on terrestrial telly regularly. Fuck knows TV on Saturdays is shite anyway. What with the F1, the Cricket, the Football (although BT will help a little bit there), all on Sky, the only sport you can regularly watch on terrestrial is egg-chasing.
I do think there's a difficult issue involving young players that is getting worse, with the talented ones being bought by a big team, then lost within their youth system/ignored in favour of the latest wonderkid from abroad.
The rules for transfers are ever-changing, but the problem is that the big clubs can now cherry-pick the best and then lose them within the system. The new academy rules and so on, if not paired with rules about players getting a certain amount of gametime/appearances per season, will basically just lead to rich Premier League teams getting all the best young players who then end up bench warming, or wasting their careers not getting games, who would otherwise have a future advancing through the ranks of the Football League, getting plenty of games and becoming a better player as a result of it.
It's difficult, because there are arguments as to how better facilities can improve a player, but personally, I think simply getting games week in, week out, is a much better way of giving a young player experience and improving them than any brand spanking new up to date training facility.
