I think "cutting the cord" and the decline in the quality of the game are the most likely culprits for this.
I think you're underestimating the KaeperDICK effect. Of the 5 guys in my office who are huge football fans, 3 have completely quit watching and are trying to become soccer fans so they have something to watch.....
