Yall are all arguing about the wrong thing.
ESPN has so many bad contracts with NFL, NBA, NHL, NBA, others.... where they are obligated to pay out billions that they simply can't pay because their revenue can't cover it. So many bad contracts. Disney is keeping them afloat. As an independent company, ESPN is bankrupt.
Don't get your hopes up for improved production quality.
It's more likely ESPN gets sold to something like Amazon Prime to become an exclusive streaming service, and even then, may not be able to honor all of their existing contracts and still goes through a bankruptcy situation.
This isn't about SEC vs Big 10 or any of that. ESPN is simply locked into too many contracts they can't pay.

For real? They’re actually underwater on their contracts with these leagues?
Couldn’t happen to a finer corporation.
