One of the things I wonder about is how this model may/will change as the way we watch sports on television evolves. As more and more fans start using online feeds for games, they have less and less need for cable/satellite packages. I understand that the cable companies and the in-orbit brethren with also adapt, but you have to wonder how that will look. If it ever came to a true ala carte system, the Big$ might find that it doesn't have the broad appeal it believes it has. Eyeballs in a particular  area that are "forced" into buying a complete package in order to see something desired may be very, very different than eyeballs paying for only what they intend on watching. I can envision where a true ala carte programming option could very well spell financial doom for several entities that bank on the current system.
 
Back when the "big dishes" roamed the earth, watching sports could not have ever been better. Wild feeds, open channels, and ala carte programming choices and suppliers made that the gold standard for viewers.
