Maybe I am missing something but as more and more people opt out of the cable TV subscription model and cable TV is forced to go more ala carte to retain the customers they have left, aren't the assumptions that drove the creation of these conference networks being rapidly eroded?

Over the course of the next 10 years, how can the B1G network retain the subscribers they currently have, where most of they have no interest in B1G sports and will not pay for it unless they are forced to do so?

Shouldn't conferences be focusing their efforts on creating content that can be accessed from the Internet, on-line, moving away from cable TV ASAP?  Why limit your audience by clinging to cable?  Why give a significant amount of your profits to cable companies when this is really not required?

I don't see how the B1G or even the SEC networks can ever make the kind of money the conferences are projecting.  Not from conference TV networks anyway...
