ESPN Loses 4 Million Subscribers In Past Year

The sports bubble has popped. This is why the B12 is not going to expand.

Really? Sure the future doesn't look that good for the SEC's sugar daddy

Then look what FOX did with the new deal with the B1G.

Anyway the Big 12 is going to add 2 to 4 teams BYU, Houston, UConn and Cincy appear the front runners.

ESPN is just like health care.

1. It tries to do way too much.
2. Then it becomes way too expensive.
3. Then people can't afford it ... they drop it ... and they start getting it for free by pirating it.
4. Then the remaining subscribers pay even more because ESPN is so big and out-of-touch that it is unwilling to change #1.
5. The people in #3 complain because they can't get the stuff they need (or it is low quality), and the people in #4 complain that they are paying too much and blame the #3 people for not carrying their load.
6. Then Hillary becomes President and passes the Affordable ESPN Act where the government subsidizes the cost of ESPN for those who can't afford it.

ESPN is going to adapt, or get replaced by a different product that is more suited to a changing environment.

At this point I'm hoping on the latter, as they are trying to go the way of MTV to a degree.
