South Carolina will skip a White House event to honor NCAA champions outside of men's basketball and football, coach Dawn Staley said Thursday according to Grace Raynor of The Post and Courier.
Staley told reporters that it was not a political decision but a scheduling conflict, according to The Post and Courier.
In September, Staley said her team had still not been invited to the White House despite winning the National Championship back in April.
"We did hear from the White House about attending (Friday's event), but we will not be able to attend," Staley said according to The Post and Courier.
