There is no way for ESPN to sell their channel for a simple $10 a month in an a la carte world b/c there is no way they would ever get close to 100 million subscribers. Sports programing, while popular, is not as popular as people here seem to think.
You are ignoring the laws of supply and demand.

No, I'm not. I'm looking at the fact that they MUST honor their deals with sports content providers and to do that its impossible for them to charge the low prices some seem to think they would provide. On top of that, the demand is not as high as y'all seem to think. Again, their highest rated content on average is Monday Night Football at 13 million TV sets. Even if you are generous and assume they get those 13 million plus another 7 million or so for other sports ona year round subscription, that's still 80 million less subscribers than they currently have. They would have to make up for that lost revenue to make a profit. They aren't going to be able to do that with simply upping the price for commercial time.
