Eh, maybe they could be another mediocre sec school. I would bet the majority that go to ULL or tech just didn't get into LSU or with the right scholarship. Kids that go out of state usually come from wealthy families who can afford to guide their child away from one of the worst states in the country. Saying this as a long time BR resident. LSU is good for a good college life, broad selection of majors, and decent job opportunity out of school. It's location probably impacts it a little, but also makes it what it is.

Almost everyone from my high school that went to ULL either didn't get into LSU or had very close family ties to Lafayette.

Tech is a legitimately good school though. It's not as big as LSU, but it's similar in that they have a handful of very competitive programs.
