Obviously if it went to that model, many subscribers who don't care about ESPN would drop out and that would raise the per-month fee on those of us who want it. But so? If they wanted to charge me $15/mo, it would still be a steal.

Easy for you to say. The only thing I watch on ESPN is Monday Night Football, and I certainly don't think that's worth $60/year. And I'd even bet that a majority of the country doesn't watch it at all.
You can't compare share-of-cost channel rates to a la carte rates. It's a completely different deal.
