I point it out because the SEC claimed to capture KC' market with MU so to me, the same logic seems appropriate about the Big doing the same in St Louis. Some argued Nebraska brought KC to te Big and that make zero sense. I never, ever hear a peep about that conference living here.
Have you lived in both cities? I have. Illinois' footprint in St. Louis is NOWHERE close to Missouri's in Kansas City.

You said "seems like the same situation to Illinois there" in reference to Mizzou in KC, and then estimate there are 5-6x as many Illinois alums in St. Louis as projected.

If it's "the same situation" with underreporting, the Missouri numbers in KC would need to be multiplied by the same factor as the Illinois numbers in St. Louis.
