It depends on exactly what you are talking about. In terms of local coverage and exposure, it would only make sense that if there were no Rams or Cardinals to talk about, the local media would cover more of Mizzou football and baseball. If there were no Rams or Cardinals games to go to, there would probably be a few more people that would go to Mizzou football and baseball games.
Having said that, there is no reason why Mizzou football and baseball and basketball can't be fully supported despite the Rams/Chiefs/Cards/Royals. What needs to be done better for Mizzou is getting the local populous and students to show up. They're the ones that will carry attendance on week day games. Not people from KC and STL. Especially true in baseball.

The post dispatch always gave Mizzou a lot of coverage--Bryan Burwell in particular (RIP), even though they also gave the Illini decent coverage as well . Plus, CoMo is close enough (like NOLA to BR) that you could hit up a Mizzou game on Saturday and be back for kickoff of a Rams game by the next day (though god knows why you'd want to do that).
The only time I could ever see a pro team take away from the legit Mizzou fan base is if the Cardinals were playing a home baseball series in the post season. But other than that I think there would be a pretty small amount of Mizzou fans that would get pried away from a football Saturday in order to see the Cards or Rams.
