Hello, this is Tristan, Brian's son. Me and my family are sad to announce that Brian passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon. This job was his life and he loved it. Thank you all for following his journey.

I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA.
Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember.
I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us.
2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys..
But coming for it all.

Jimmy Carter was the first President I have a memory of. Good man. My Dad nearly worked for his VP, actually, as the USMC aide to Mondale.
Have a deep appreciation for State Funerals. I think they stop the wild stupid swinging pendulum, at least momentarily.
Thoughts for the future of NCAAF:
- Salary Cap on collectives
- - 1st year player with team $100k max
- - 2nd year player with same team $200k max
- - 3rd year player with same team $300k max
- - 4th year player with same team $500k max
- - 5th year player with same team $1 million max
- - - If you transfer to another team you start over at the year 1 payment of $100k max
- NIL unlimited. Whatever sources outside the University want to pay you, you are entitled to earn. Just like NFL.
- 5 year career max. Can play all years. Remove redshirting. Enter the NFL draft or corporate world after 5th season.
- 105 scholarship limit
- 125 roster limit. Collective payments not allowed for walk-ons but walk-ons can receive NIL.
