"But I do think that as fans of a religious institution we should hold ourselves to a higher standard when it comes to criticizing/teasing a fellow religious institution and their fans."--Stoney.

Agreed. Plus, there's the fact that there are a lot of non-Mormons and non-Catholics who attend the institutions.

sure. about 600, if you figure that there are 30K undegrads and that the school is 98% mormon.

the 98% is the number on their wiki.

What percentage of the non-Mormons are there only because of BYU's athletics? My guess it that it's a lot.

So, basically all Mormon.
(edit: actually, I bet a lot of those 600 are grad students or post docs)

Well, OK, but then you have to count the 4000 grad students in the pool.

So- 680
