Recently, controversy has arisen in the world of NCAA women’s basketball following a visit by LSU to the White House. First Lady Jill Biden had suggested that Iowa should join LSU for the visit, but star player Angel Reese did not accept the apology offered by Biden. Instead, Reese suggested that LSU should visit the Obamas instead.

This controversy comes on the heels of disappointment expressed by Iowa’s head coach Lisa Bluder, who noted that her team was not invited to the White House alongside LSU. It is worth noting that several college teams have declined invitations to the White House in recent years due to political differences with the administration.

While it is unclear what specific political issues may have caused these invitations to be declined or not offered, what is clear is that the world of college sports is not immune to the tensions and struggles of the current political climate. At the end of the day, it is important to focus on the athletes and their accomplishments, regardless of who they choose to visit in the White House or elsewhere.

What are your thoughts on this controversy? Do you believe that college athletes should be encouraged to visit the White House, or should they have the freedom to make their own choices? Let us know in the comments below.
