[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129769019, member: 1459051"] Yes, that's true. They don't have a choice. Cable customers can only chose from the packages offered by the cable companies. That's 100% true. The smaller packages offered by the cable companies are dog ****. I agree with you that cord cutters are looking for smaller packages [B][I][U]from other mediums[/U][/I][/B]. That's the key, [B][I][U]from other mediums[/U][/I][/B]. You can get these packages (from Sling TV for example) that have various channels. However, the bottom-end packages offered by the cable companies aren't as good as those. The bottom-end packages offered by the cable companies suck. That's why people are [B][I][U]cord cutting[/U][/I][/B]. Otherwise, they would keep their cable subscription, but just get a smaller package. They wouldn't completely cut the cord. If you read the articles posted on this thread, they clearly state that this is [B][I][U]industry wide[/U][/I][/B]. OK, well if it's [B][I][U]industry wide[/U][/I][/B], that means people aren't simply getting smaller cable packages. They are dropping cable entirely. Those articles further state that this isn't just happing to ESPN. Most other channels are experiencing big drops in subscribers as well. Ok, well if people were only dropping ESPN, then other channels would not be experiencing drops in subscribers. Well, what that shows you is that this drop in subscribers isn't some rebellion against ESPN. There is no way you can claim otherwise, given the information that is being reported. It's not plausible that ESPN was investigating a reconfigured Big 12. That was nothing but a rumor. It hasn't been backed up by any credible evidence at all. You can't claim something is/was plausible unless you have at least some basic evidence to prove it was happening. That's especially true when the rumor involves something as stupid as Nebraska leaving the Big Ten. Regarding what I said 2-3 months ago, post exactly what I said. You've already misrepresented what I said on just in this thread, so no, I'm not taking anything you say about comments I made 3 months ago at face value unless you show me what I actually said.
