The Bulldogs, who completed a 15-0 season record, were invited to visit the White House on June 12, but the date suggested was not feasible given the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgias-national-championship-football-team-rejects-biden-invite-to-white-house-celebration\/\" title=\"Georgia's football champs decline Biden's White House invite.\">student-athlete calendar<\/a> and time of year.<\/p>\n<h3>Missed Opportunity<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, we are appreciative of the invitation and look forward to other opportunities for Georgia teams moving forward,\u201d said the University of Georgia Athletic Association in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden White House has had rejections when it comes to inviting championship sports teams. Due to COVID-19, the Bulldogs did not visit the White House following their January 2022 football championship. Nor did the Alabama Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n<h3>White House&#8217;s Fault?<\/h3>\n<p>The scheduling conflict appears to be the White House\u2019s fault, according to Zachary Faria, a commentary writer at the Washington Examiner who mainly opines on politics and sports. \u201cI have no idea what their spring schedule looks like, but [President Joe] Biden pushed it off long enough that they already played their spring game, so if it\u2019s a scheduling conflict, it\u2019s one of Biden\u2019s making,\u201d he told The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<h3>Appreciative but Unavailable<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the missed opportunity, the University of Georgia Athletic Association expressed gratitude for the invitation and looks forward to future opportunities for Georgia teams. The Epoch Times has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Championship Teams Decline<\/h3>\n<p>The Bulldogs are not the only championship sports team to decline an invitation to the White House. Due to COVID-19, many teams have been unable to visit the White House, while others have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/live-now-ntd-evening-news-march-3-alex-murdaugh-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-for-murders-cancerous-lesion-removed-from-bidens-chest\/\" title=\"LIVE NOW: NTD Evening News (March 3): Alex Murdaugh Sentenced to Life in Prison for Murders; Cancerous Lesion Removed From Biden\u2019s Chest\">declined invitations<\/a> for various reasons.<\/p>\n<h3>Championship Season<\/h3>\n<p>The Bulldogs blew out Texas Christian University on Jan. 9 in the College Football Playoff National Championship, 65-7, and completed a perfect season record.
