Speaking for myself, I am always very interested in hearing of these events going on within university settings. Perhaps it is in part because of my interest in the Oxford Movement and the Cambridge Camden Movement, but I think it is more than a simple romanticization flowing from those two movements. That said, there is a relevance to them. What was demonstrable in those two cases was that there could indeed be great potential found within such settings that could move beyond the so-called "ivory tower" of the academia and reach in broader ecclesiastical life and parish practice.
For myself this makes manifest sense for the reason that the academic orientation of those at the institution is condusive to a more studied consideration of the issues surrounding the liturgy in view of Catholic principles and history. Where that is the case, this has the potential to create strong advocacy and apologetics for the tradition both for the present and in the future.
At very minimum it is a way to continue to introduce and spread the tradition to younger Catholics, which is always of benefit.
