I think if anything, a new conference network would emerge, leaving ESPN behind and starting their own TV network for the SEC and other sports.

Of course all it would take is for a real CEO or manager to come through ESPN and cut heads. Bring it back to its former self and stop being a network broadcasting political issues. Clean that part up and become a network for all peoples opinions on sports and sports only and it would survive. Might even rise to new ranks. If not, it will fail.

I'd love a world where the sports I enjoy watching did not depend upon selling out to Disney/ESPN

I didn’t like Sankey at 1st, but he’s proven very competent and forward thinking and has emerged as the most powerful man in college sports. There’s no way they don’t have a contingency plan in place in case ESPN can’t offer them what he knows they’re worth when the current contract ends. The SEC will be more than fine.

I wonder how the economics of that would work though. How many would sign up for it and much would people be willing to pay.

We don’t need opinions. Just sports.
