Why does everyone automatically assume this will happen? In an alacarte model, wouldn't demand dictate the price?

b/c they (and the leagues ESPN pays for the broadcast rights) will have to make up for the lost revenue.

if a la carte happens, prices for sports programming will skyrocket for the individual customer b/c the cost will no longer be spread out.

I don't even see how people arguing for a la carte have a legit argument. If you don't want to pay for cable. Don't. Get Netflix and watch what little there is over the air via rabbit ears.

You aren't entitled to cheap entertainment. They shouldn't be forced to sell their entertainment product in a way that is perfectly suited to what you want.
