The event included 47 teams from 19 different sports, though the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team declined to attend.

Georgia Football Team Declines White House Visit with President Biden

The University of Georgia's national championship college football team has declined an invitation to visit the White House due to a scheduling conflict. The team was invited to attend a "College Athlete Day" event on June 12th, but the suggested date was not feasible given the student-athlete calendar and time of year. Some championship teams have missed White House visits in the past, including the NBA's Golden State Warriors in 2019.
