Streaming has disrupted that $ and it's looking to get worse. So - they still get money from people who are using non-cable options (I use SlingTV) - but not in the same volume of people. I think the demise is that and only that. The bread and butter of ESPN has always been the games. If they keep buying games people will watch. They want people to watch Sportscenter, First Take, etc. as that's more ad revenue - but that stuff is fixable. If you're making less money you need to adjust. That's all that's happening, IMHO.
