They could make a deal with ESPN, or just provide their own content. ESPN doesn't own sports. Yes, it's a big undertaking, but if the demand is there and there is money to be made, someone will do it.

I think this will be the straw the breaks the camel's back.

When the Big Ten Network finally breaks off into it's won entity and offers it's content directly via a stream at a reasonable price that nets them more money than from cable companies then we might see a huge swing as the NBA, NFL, et al do the same and not sell their rights.

This may not happen due to the landscape of conference expansion and the push to get cable markets but it certainly could if it becomes more economically viable.

Imagine how much better the viewing experience could be in this case as well. We could have more huddle / on the field microphones that bring the consumer even closer to the actual feeling of the game.

Is ESPN limited in its ability to do this right now because it is part of the standard cable package? What allows HBO to show full nudity while TBS cannot? Is the FCC regulating this or is it self-imposed?
