In our neck of the woods, AUS (Atlantic University Sport) livestreams a bunch of sports including the AUS Swimming championships, which I watched the last couple of years. Last year they had David Sharpe providing colour commentary along with the main guy (forget who it was), low budget production (I think they have 2 cameras, at least one of them is fixed) but still very good because Sharpe wasn't that far removed from his competitive career, and actually knows the guys and girls who were in the pool, so his commentary were a lot of things that you couldn't get just by watching the race or a couple of previous races.
Yes - University sports in Canada, have been big adopters of this - both the schools themselves, and the provincial associations and Usports at the national level.
It's games such as the Vanier Cup, and the final-4 in Basketball, that are going to get TV (cable - TSN/Sportsnet) coverage. Everything else, is going to have to look at Live-Streaming, which they are actively doing.
Here costs can be kept low, after some technology and hardware investment, to utilize the talents in School Programs such as Media, Journalism and Broadcasting, for no or low cost with Students doing most of the work and the being the on-air talent. It's win/win here as the school get's the football, volleyball game, or track or swim meet out there to a wider audience of viewers and the kids get real hands-on experience broadcasting stuff.
