People want sports, so demand isn't likely going anywhere. The question is: how will it be supplied? And since it's a multi-billion dollar industry, I would imagine that it will continue to find ways to evolve.

Agreed. The biggest correction is going to be with stations like ESPN which currently make $8 for every single cable subscriber out there. That's somewhere around 90 million.
If and when cable goes away, how is ESPN going to recoup that $700 million annually? The answer is that they're not but they won't be able to pay as much money for products like Monday Night Football. ESPN will eventually be an online subscription service, probably something like $10 per month.
