ESPN has shown a willingness to keep paying for content, because it is trying to justify a separate sports subscription for ESPNPlus.  We will see.  In the old days, Fox and ESPN were both fighting for content because they wanted the carriage fees on cable.  I do not understand Fox's online strategy, and I don't think they do either.

CBS Sports will be folded into ParamountPlus.  I will give Paramount credit.  They folded a bunch of marginal channels (CBSSports, Showtime, Nick, MTV) into a decent subscription service.  I would not be surprised if they put up a fight in sports.

MAX is probably going to fold TNT into it within a few years.  I do not see them being active in college, but they will continue with the NBA.

That leaves Netflix, Apple and Amazon, and possibly Google depending on what they do with YoutubeTV.  Netflix seems content churning out mediocre content cheaply, and Netflix is making a mountain of money so they have no pressure to do anything.  Apple and Amazon have bottomless pockets but streaming services that are both losing money and kind of marginal.  Those two can rock the sports world with their next move.
