So essentially even if we want them to go away they'll be here forever?
Not necessarily.
I don't think so. It just means that the trust owns the team, so the Miller family won't directly profit if it is sold. I believe if it is sold, the money goes back into the trust.

Reading between the lines, I think the Millers did this to avoid the estate tax when Gail Miller dies. They would have had to sell the team to pay the tax is my guess.
