Why isn't more soccer on television?

Seems when you are up at 6am or later they could be showing live soccer over seas but instead ESPN and other programs shows replays of shows you don't care about. I would personally love to view more live soccer options on my television without having to pay for it.

NBC Sports, which you likely have, shows plenty
ETA: Television rights = your answer, though. ESPN only holds US rights to a couple of lower profile competitions which they generally just throw on ESPN3

If you want to watch it, you can find it. I'm watching my 4th live game of the day.

NBC has really changed things, at least for BPL. Before I would either need to purchase fox soccer, fox soccer plus and fix soccer 2 go. And even after that, catch reruns on yess or find a stream. I haven't had to do any of that with NBC.

It's tough to make advertising money when there's no commercial breaks.

There are usually 4-5 Liga MX matches and at least 1 MLS match on free over the air Spanish language TV every weekend. The new El Rey network even simulcasts a few of these in English now.
