You say MU has widespread support in MO. I recall going to the Independence Mall where they had KU monopoly and MU monopoly. I comically observed as numerous passerbys asked where MU was. Even in MO, there are people who don't know where MU is. My parents read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, even they(paper) have noted through the decades that top-talent from St. Louis is MORE likely to go to Illinois than MU. Hazelwood Schools, Lee Summit and even Columbia-Hickman are more likely to leave state than go to MU. Don't confuse personal loyalty to any type of statewide support. People see Cornhusker, they think Nebraska. They see Bengal Tiger(purple&yellow), they think Louisiana. They see Razorback, they think Arkansas. They see a black and gold Tiger they think of the local high school mascot. KOLR10 out of Springfield spends equal amount of time on MSU/MU/AR.
