re: Does it bother you to see ESPN profit off of college players?

Should the kids play for free?
They aren't playing for free.
They can leave HS and walk on to an NFL team if they want. Nobody makes them go to college.
However, most would say it is wise to go to the college route. Why? All the free shite you get for playing football. Free education. Free supplements. Free training facilities. Free training. Free coaching. Free exposure.

Athletes get a stipend. When they move off campus, they get money to pay for rent and groceries off campus. I think it's around $800-$1000 per month. Not to mention all the athletic gear they get for free. Oh, and bowl games. They get some pretty sweet items at bowl games. Most of which, gets sold and they profit off of that.
That doesn't happen to normal college students.
Putting college athletes on an actual pay roll would literally kill the sport.
