ESPN networks do it whenever they have the scroll bar (with Disney ad) at the bottom of the screen taking up 15% of a TV's viewable area, which is 99% of the time they are broadcasting. It is my understanding the NFL requires they remove the scroll bar for all of their games. The CFP required them to do it as well. I will be pissed as frick if the SEC doesn't require them to do the same, at least for the 230pm game. I freely admit to being a telecast quality nerd so there is that.

You are getting confused between 1080i and 1080p. 1080i is not any better and usually worse than 720p, especially when it comes to fast moving sports.
TV stations either broadcast in 1080i (most common) and 720p. Nobody broadcasts in 1080p that I know of. There are some specialty 4k broadcast channels now though
