The team was invited to visit with first lady Jill Biden on June 12 for \u201cCollege Athlete Day,\u201d but the team said in a statement that their calendar is already full.<\/p>\n<h3>Team&#8217;s Statement<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe University of Georgia first received on May 3 an invitation for the Bulldog football team to visit the White House on June 12,\u201d the statement said. \u201cUnfortunately, the date suggested is not feasible given the student-athlete calendar and time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s decision not to go came after months of criticism of the White House from fans of the team and Republicans for failing to invite the team sooner. The entire Georgia congressional delegation sent a letter to the White House back in January urging White House officials to recognize the team at their \u201cearliest convenience.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Letter from Georgia Congressional Delegation<\/h3>\n<p>The letter from Rep. Earl \u201cBuddy\u201d Carter (R-GA) was signed by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), and Reps. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Henry C. \u201cHank\u201d Johnson (D-GA), Austin Scott (R-GA), Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Rick Allen (R-GA), Nikema Williams (D-GA), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), David Scott (D-GA), Drew Ferguson (R-GA), Lucy McBath (D-GA), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Mike Collins (R-GA) and Rich McCormick, M.D. (R-GA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe write to request you host the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) College Football Playoff National Champions, the University of Georgia Bulldogs, for a White House ceremony at your earliest convenience,\u201d the letter said. \u201cThe Georgia Bulldogs, led by head coach Kirby Smart, completed a historic season in which they accomplished a 15-0 record and won their second national championship in the same number of years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/counting-down-the-10-biggest-quarterback-busts-of-all-time\/\" title=\"Counting Down The 10 Biggest Quarterback Busts Of All Time\">college football national champion<\/a> has had the high honor of being hosted, by the President, at the White House,\u201d the letter later added. \u201cDue to COVID-19 constraints, the 2021-22 University of Georgia national championship team was unable to come to D.C.
