This is where the argument falls apart. It will come down to
1. which teams have the most rabid fan base and
2. Who draws national interest from those without a dog in the fight
If I'm on the west coast am I more likely to stream a Bama game or a Maryland Terrapins game?
Streaming will ultimately be a pure measure of demand, but as I say, we're not there yet.
Exxxxactly ... well stated. Better than I typed-it.
My only exception is that packages, streaming packages, will still be, soon be, the norm. So YouTubeTV will still dominate, Sling TV is catching-up, Hulu is trying-to become a total streaming package and Apple TV is making a push .... all of those will be streaming and all of those will include SECNetwork and SECN+ in their sports packages.

Maybe I am the slow coach here, but I went from a cable company to YouTube
SEC still makes the product
ESPN still produces the product
Cable company is still my backbone (say Comcast)
Only think that changed was say ComCast to You Tube as my receiver
I paid cable for a bundle of product
I pay You Tube for a bundle of product
Comcast paid ESPN for their bundle
YouTube pays ESPN for their bundle (but I lost the SECN Alt channels)
I did not get rid of Cable (I still pay for the wire). I still use Ethernet (tho upgrading) because speeds will always be better than non hard line transmission. So how is ESPN losing money? Disney is losing money because they took some of the most valuable entertainment franchises and over marketed them for the quick cash. You could do Disney for for for about 1K and now it costs 10K, screw Disney gouging the middle class.

I am an old school American and believe Game Theory free markets are what we used to have and the way we use Capitalism today (in the positive light) glosses over the negative. The USA of 100 years ago was geared to the middle class. Now we are in the age of corporate welfare but call it capitalism in the mainstream media.
We have unregulated monopolies and dark private equity creating a new monarchy under the very noses of the descendants who fled the European monarchies. We are allowing it to happen by letting the far left and far right soak up all the media air the moderates (and vast majority of the USA) once held dear as the bastion and bulwark from the rest of the world.
US Government needs to break up the modern monopolies
Amazon
To name a few and stop letting the taxpayers fund private equity and return company ownership to the middle class.
