All eyes are on Knights football after UCF alumna and Playboy Magazine’s Miss July 2010, Shanna Marie McLaughlin, continues making headlines in the Orlando Sentinel, on Local 6 news and elsewhere for a popular video showing off her UCF spirit taken inside the Knights locker room.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting Knights football coach George O’Leary is the one who gave permission for the sexy shoot.
“I approved the magazine,” O’Leary told the Sentinel. “The guy called my office and basically wanted to know if they could do a magazine shoot. There was a UCF girl who had her MBA and all that. And the only thing I asked is, ‘Is that a magazine that is distributed on campus?’ And they said, ‘Yes.'”
The video was shot during a still photo shoot for aXis Magazine, a monthly entertainment publication by UCF alumni. KnightNews.com has been covering McLaughlin’s recent attention after earning the Playboy honor.
This is not the first time aXis has done a football preview showcasing hot UCF women.
“They’ve done I think four, since I’ve been here at least four, initial copies of football [previews] opening up the football season,” O’Leary told the paper.
UCF apologized for letting it happen and tried keeping the fact O’Leary was behind it a secret, according to multiple media reports.
But should UCF have apologized? Or was this all in good fun — the type needed to fill the football stadium?
