From what I have read, ESPN is operating in the black, shareholders just want increased profits so they are making big cuts to the operating budget.
It's not about now it's about the trajectory and the future. The trend has them shitting bricks.
ESPN gets somewhere around $9 a month from all cable/streaming subscribers(if there package has ESPN) even if they don't watch ESPN.
If the cable companies/streaming providers are able to force the unbundling of ESPN then they would only receive money from those who subscribe to it. Also as cordcutting in general progresses there are less subscribers and many who move to streaming are actively avoiding streaming packages with sports because they want lower prices.
And as to a separate streaming ESPN how many would pay for it year around? I think most would have it for the CFB months then drop it the rest of the year. The monthly cost would have to be very high to counteract the lost cable tv money.

I would pay for it year round for sure, because I watch more than college football (such as...baseball?) and I would love to drop my main streaming service (YouTubeTV) and save fifty bucks a month.
