new name for Barn

[stocker08]

Like "The Bank", "The "X", we can just start calling it, "The Cross"

I'm never calling it that.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

BSBC always donated but now placed a request upon the donation.

How about the "Barn"...

Everybody enjoys a visit to the BBC!

That could be a problematic nickname...

Why do health insurance companies have the money for naming rights?

But don’t listen to me I moved to Europe nearly a decade ago.

Because they sell insurance.

10 years? If this arena is still standing in 10 years we have a problem.

"The Barn by Blue Cross, because animals are treated better than our clientele."

Gangelhoff is dead? Hang the f'n banners already

Should have been hung a long time ago since UNCheat can commit academic fraud for 30 years and no penalties. F the NC2A

I guess that means no new arena for the next 10 years. Hopefully they spend the money on facility improvements.

Profits are up 400% since 2014.....

Because they sell insurance.

Because we are a sick country and people are getting sicker; quicker than ever before.

 

[FinnGopher]

Profits are up 400% since 2014.....

...and quality healthcare is down 400% since 2014...

WHAT..... where are you getting your numbers? The health insurers have been getting their ass handed to them the past 2 yrs. I think you must have heard what happened to UCare this past year.

Last year, Blue Blue Shield of MN reported a combined operating loss of $353 million on $10.4 billion in fully insured premium revenue. Despite the operating loss, a strong performance in its investment portfolio allowed the company to close out the year with a positive net income of $83 million. So, basically, a hot stock market saved them as a non-profit, but how long can you depend on that? So, the question is, does this naming rights deal make sense considering their financial position, as the outlook for the health insurance segment isn't any rosier in 2026.

Barn is the best venue for watching basketball in the entire conference…bar none.
