Cord Cutting and Expansion

Cable is going the way of the dodo. EDIT: Sling TV is the first step, but it's not the end state.
Currently expansion is driven by carriage fees. Get any school in a populous state to force tier 1 rates.
However, if in 10 years most of the population doesn't have cable and streams content, does that affect desirable expansion targets? Is a massive school like UCF more valuable than UVA?
This isn't necessarily about the SEC, just in general.

I think it's a legitimate worry but as it stands live events, mainly sports, still drive a lot of content and advertising revenue. What people are getting sick of is paying $150/month for a million channels they don't watch. Well. They still watch ESPN, and ESPN content. So people will pay for that one way or another.

Are you talking Slingbox or Sling TV?
I really want to cut the cord on my $100+ satellite bill and am considering going with Sling TV via my Roku.
Roku + OTA + Netflix or Hulu + Sling TV would bring it down to less than $30 a month. You could probably ax the $20 for Sling TV during selected months. The only gap would be the regional sports networks to watch the local MLB, NHL, NBA, etc. And I know there's a workaround to get those if you really want them.
So what ideas do other cord cutters have to get what you want at more reasonable rates?

Was reading on SD yesterday
Sling TV 20$
Roku if you sign a 3 month contract I believe it's free
Hulu+ or Netflix or both - 10-20$
SECN plus ESPNU and some of sports channels 5$
So you're probably looking at 35-45$

Maybe it will. Maybe by then the more serious fans you have willing to pay for the service the more valuable your program is.
But who knows? Video game streaming might be the thing by then.
