9% of TV subscribers are likely to cut the cord this year (it is very tempting, I watch almost no cable TV). Some will pick ESPN over the top, but many won't. I can almost guarantee that the next round of TV contracts will not be as lucrative as the last one. This will hurt a lot of schools, but especially those that are carying a lot of debt and were expecting the rising tide of TV contracts to bail them out of it.
