It's going to be awhile before people figure out how the change in delivering content effects Sport programming but with the tumble of ESPN and pay outs for contracts that at least is becoming clear. So where does a school make up the revenue? Since most schools in the Big East, at least Legacy schools, settle near their school having local or regional rivalries would be beneficial to put butts in seats.
Again from a Basketball standpoint I don't see where LU fits

I'd expect that if/when we're on the bigger stage, we'd start to get Big East type recruits. What I'd expect a conference to want to see is our commitment to excellence, resources, possibly media (LFSN), etc.Creighton brought basketball success and recognition to the Big East. Ditto Butler ( plus Indianapolis).
Also, media consumption is changing. I wonder if the metrics of a media market are even going to matter as much in the near future. At this point, new content is being created for platforms, not broadcast. That, to me, would signal a value of brand over immediate population base. If alum/fans can watch the broadcast from Seattle to Miami and beyond (via the internet)... who cares how many people live near the campus...
