put together about 20 solid college teams with just "catholic" recruits... LDS recruits could maybe make one... solid team

Aside from that ND really doesn't have anything like the HC, so the idea is if you're LDS should be living the HC thus the HC is not an issue. For those kids to go elswhere it's a major hit bc although there definitely are kids out there who are not LDS and who hold those standards... those are so few and far between its just not realistic to think that 95% of those kids would even consider BYU.

This logic is so extremely completely off. Get real man.
