The news arrives several months after a bipartisan group of congressional officials requested that the UGA football team visit the White House sooner.
“The University of Georgia first received on May 3 an invitation for the Bulldog football team to visit the White House on June 12,” it reads. “Unfortunately, the date suggested is not feasible given the student-athlete calendar and time of year. However, we are appreciative of the invitation and look forward to other opportunities for Georgia teams moving forward.”
UGA’s athletics department announced the change of plans in a statement to the Athens Banner-Herald. The Georgia Bulldogs have declined an invitation to visit President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate the team’s second consecutive national championship.
