Valpo wouldn't bring the MVC a big market, and Loyola and UI-C are overshadowed by NBA and D-1 competitors in Chicago. But UMKC is the biggest school in a sizable Kansas City market and has no direct NBA or D-1 competition (although obviously there are plenty of Missouri, Kansas and K-State fans there). It will be interesting to see what happens.

Valpo is located in Porter County Indiana (population 250K plus) and next to LarPorte(150K+ & Lake Counties(500K+). They are the only D1 hoops program in Northwest Indiana. Of course this would give Indiana 3 MVC teams which may be too many.

I guess it depends on your definition of "big market". There are over 2 million in the KC metro area.
