23.9% of Americans identify themselves as Catholic. 1.7% as Mormons (which seems very high to me, but the point is the same - their following isn't in the same ballpark as ND).
Three things to consider:
1. There is only one big Mormon school
2. There are many Catholic schools
3. It is less likely a Catholic would support ND than it is a Mormon would support BYU (most Catholics in Louisiana are LSU fans whereas Mormons everywhere tend to be BYU fans)
My point is that even though ND has a larger fan base, looking at the numbers of Catholics vs Mormons isn't exactly the best way to compare.

You're right, and that was a poor statistic for me to use. I don't think there's much doubt about the sizes of the two fanbases, though.
If I were at a Big 12 school I'd be at least marginally in favor of both. But if I were at BYU or Boise State... not so much. I'd be looking at the Pac-whatever. Less travel time and more in common with the west coast folks. And no texas.
