Even if SEC got a share of ad revenue, ESPN could just inflate their expenses so there were no net profits from advertising
That is not how the real world works. Especially when dealing with big business. Until some details are provided it does no good to guess. Keep trying to stir up the internet though.
Even if the SEC currently has no ad dollars share, in the next 20 years it will not surpass subscriber fees. At that point if ad dollars are trending up, the current deal will expire and anything is open to negotiation.

Not sure why you think it will take 20 years for ad revenue to match carriage?
BTN has seen the gap narrow to around 50 / 50 or 60 / 40 and the BTN launched in 2007. It is now 2013 (academic year) so that is well below a decade.
