In previous years the BBC have been happy to record and broadcast the SLS on sunday mornings when as many as 5 of the 7 games hadn't happened so I doubt the introduction of one live monday night game on sky has anything to do with it.They would still be able to show footage of 6 out of 7 games even if they had no time to edit and include footage of the 7th. MOTD didn't move when monday night football games started.

I suspect it may have more to do with the BBC covering Euro 2012, Wimbledon and the Olympics in the June to late August period along with their daily highlights programmes for those events meaning it will be harder to guarantee a regular slot for a show that is only regionally broadcast and will in the eyes of the BBC (and probably in reality) attract fewer viewers than the other summer sporting events.

Personally I don't give a monkey's about either the tennis or the Olympics and won't watch any footage of either but lots of people do and that is who the BBC will cater for so we will unfortunately have to put up with the SLS being fitted in wherever it can be accommodated around the other much larger sporting events going on.
