July's playboy playmate photoshoot for axis magazine lands UCF coach in very hot water.

Orlando-based Axis magazine did a feature about Florida native and UCF alum Shanna McLaughlin—July’s Playboy Playmate. Axis decided to create a sexy spread on McLaughlin using the University of Central Florida’s locker room as a backdrop. The photo shoot also includes McLaughlin in sexy and risque poses while wearing UCF memorabilia and holding a UCF Knights’ helmet. In addition to the photo shoot, a behind-the-scenes video was posted on Axis‘ site.

After the photo shoot and video was brought to the attention of UCF's administration, it became clear that the photo shoot was not authorized by the school. The coach said he did speak to the magazine about the photoshoot, although he did not ask the nature of the photo shoot. Instead asked if the magazine will be distributed across the campus.

I don't know what to say, the school should be proud of its alumni. Hope the coach gets out of this mess.
