I might be wrong, but I think you're missing grunewar's point. He's only responding to Dan_ref's similar point. Dan seems to say that it would be terrible parenting to allow your daughter to sign a "future" contract with Playboy. But grunwar points out that it might not be terrible parenting if the "future" contract were with a more reputable, professional company like IBM.

A D1 college scholarship seems more like the IBM (reputable) offer than the Playboy offer. I think that was grunwar's point. I'm sure Dan_ref will tell you why I'm wrong.
