NASA doesn't use their satellite channel for very many events. Most regionals are webcast only (not carried on NASA TV) and therefore they have the encoder on site and an internet connection to pipe the data back to the NASA servers. They use the satellite for the kickoff and Championships and a few regionals in between.

As a owner of my personal webserver, which wouldn't have a problem with 200 people accessing, it wouldn't be that hard to stream video as I have no limits on transfer rate, just my upload speed, which I am working on getting upped to a couple mbps.

A couple of megabits won't handle many viewers at all. See my table above.
