Ya, but I didn't see anything that Villanova at Butler was on Sunday night. Do they really millions would turn off the NFL game for the college hoops game? I don't think so.

Interesting.

ESPN might have trouble going it alone.

According to a recent consumer survey conducted by the marketing firm Civic Science and highlighted in a note by BTIG, more than half of cable subscribers would be happy to drop ESPN to save $8 a month.

Recent estimates have ESPN charging providers more than $6 a subscriber to carry the network.

Additionally, only 6% of the survey's respondents said they would be willing to pay $20 a month for a Netflix-like ESPN offering. Reports have indicated ESPN would need to charge $30 for a similar bundle for it to make economic sense.

In a note released Wednesday morning, BTIG's Rich Greenfield said the results of this survey highlighted ESPN's two major issues:

ESPN probably won't be able to go "over-the-top" with a Netflix-style offering in an economical way.
ESPN is "overearning" right now.

I often think that pretty soon this will be ESPN sprinting around desperately in vain looking for gold... Eli Wallach represents ESPN... Clint Eastwood represents the cable subscribers... great song and movie...
