National champion Georgia Bulldogs DECLINE invitation to the White House as date is 'not feasible'

The national championship winning University of Georgia Bulldogs football team will not travel to the White House after the date they were invited was deemed 'not feasible'.

The White House proposed a date of June 12 to host multiple NCAA championship winning teams from different sports. That date was proposed to UGA, but they declined and released a statement.

'The University of Georgia first received on May 3 an invitation for the Bulldog football team to visit the White House on June 12. 

'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.'

National title winners Georgia will not be traveling to the White House for a celebration

The Bulldogs say that the proposed date is 'not feasible given the student-athlete calendar'

This means that it has been three seasons since a college football national champion has visited the White House - when LSU did so after the 2019 season.

Both the University of Alabama and Georgia were not given invitations when they won the 2020 and 2021 national titles respectively due to COVID-19 pandemic protocols. 

Georgia's political leaders issued a bipartisan resolution asking for the White House to invite the Bulldogs in 2023 after they felt the team was snubbed the first time. 

The White House responded saying, 'The President looks forward to welcoming the Georgia Bulldogs to the White House.'

However, that won't be happening after the Biden Administration and Georgia discussed potential dates - which neither side could agree on. 

The winners of the NCAA basketball tournaments have been invited to a separate ceremony later this month: The LSU women’s basketball team and UConn men’s basketball team will visit the White House on May 26.

Two stars from that team - Stetson Bennett (L) & Jalen Carter (R) - have had legal issues lately

It's not been the easiest time for some of Georgia's team members from that title win. 

Jalen Carter, one of the Bulldogs star defensive linemen, was part of a street race that left teammate Devin Willock and UGA football staffer Chandler LeCroy dead. Carter turned himself in to Athens, Georgia police.

Stetson Bennett, the team's quarterback, also was in trouble with the law as he was found publicly intoxicated in Dallas. 

Both players were selected in the NFL Draft weeks ago - as Carter was taken ninth overall by the Philadelphia Eagles and Bennett was chosen by the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round.
