Live streaming latency does not jibe well with sports. I’ve since learned to disable any push notifications that reveal what happened 30 seconds prior to my witnessing it. What can be done, at scale, to get us back to the “live” normally experienced with cable or satellite?

Stick with satellite distribution? You're going to have a devil of a time scaling any sort of real-time streaming over an IP network. Every hop adds some latency and scaling pretty much requires some non-zero amount of buffering.
IP Multicast might help but you have to sacrifice bandwidth for the multicast streams and have support all down the line for QoS. It's a hard problem which is why no one has cracked it yet. You need a setup with real-time capability from network ingest, through peering connections, all the way down to end-user terminals.
