Incorrect. Fox Sports and NBC Sports are waiting in the wings for those contracts to come due - with the subscriber rate falling that means the other two will have a little leverage against ESPN. I honestly try to limit the amount of time I watch them or use the espn3.com website - I definitely don't just put Sportscenter on as background noise or anything, which I'm sure is what accounts for a lot of SC's ratings.

A lot of the subscribers espn is losing are probably cutting cable in general, being as how we dont have a la carte yet

Yup - and to add to this: ESPN has gotten way too much into the editorial and away from the reporting that they used to do. People are tuning out because they don't want to be pitched the same freakin' narrative all day long. The product has declined, and has been in decline for about 7-8 years.
Need less: discussion about Roger Goodell / Ray Rice / BCS Sucks lets replace it with another flawed system / Redskins name
Them having less viewership is good for Fox and NBC; it's a zero-sum game.
