re: Would the BIG10 and PAC12 ever recover if the SEC/ACC/BIG12 decide to play this fall?

But even if ESPN isn't paying out money for CFB TV rights this year, they still have to pay their employees and some high paid on-air personalities under contract. Plus they're going to absolutely hemorrhage subscribers because without football in the fall, a lot of people are going to drop ESPN from their streaming/cable package if they have the option

Not to mention all the ad revenue they'll lose from the hundreds of games that won't be broadcast in the fall. If football isn't playing in the fall, I don't see how they argue basketball will start in November either even though it's technically a winter sport. ESPN would be royally fricked, yet all their on-air personalities are pushing hard for the season to be cancelled. It's incredibly short-sighted. I will enjoy watching that network burn to the ground.
