the tabernacle choir. I've run into people in all sorts of random places wearing BYU gear. I've never seen anyone wear tabernacle choir gear. Millions of dollars are spent by fans to attend BYU sporting events, how much is spent on tickets to see the choir? When was the last time you saw a mention of the tabernacle choir on tv on a non-church affiliated channel. Do you think the choir could be self-sustaining financially.
There is no chance the choir creates as much publicity as BYU sports do.
