There's a lot of money in subscription services.
Don't forget WatchESPN. ESPN has really improved that service and it's especially nice for replays. I watched a replay of the GT/Mercer football game this morning without commercials. I would gladly pay a $10 per month subscription fee for WatchESPN (right now, it's free if you have ESPN on cable).
