I work for BT Sport...
It would have been an extra game on top of the original agreement.
For BT Sport to show it, all league chairmen needed to agree for the extra game to be allowed. They all did apart from the Hibs chairman!
BT put pressure on both club and SPFL but Hibs wouldn't agree. Seems crazy to piss off one of the few places which is actually giving you financial support but I guess they though BT would give them more cash. From what I understand that was never a consideration.
