The Buckeyes of Ohio travel to Washington, DC to visit the president.
Coach Ryan Day confirmed Monday that his team will visit President Donald Trump at the White House next month to commemorate the national championship.
“It's an honor to be invited. We were officially invited. It's customary. I remember growing up and seeing the national championship team go to the White House…it's part of our team's celebration,” Day told reporters on Monday.

The Buckeyes head to the White House on April 14th, two weeks before Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles attended.
The Buckeyes had a roller coaster of the season and descended on a 10-1 start before hosting then-defensive champion Michigan, who had struggled all season. But Wolverine pulled away the upset as a three-touchdown underdog.
It was the fourth straight loss to Michigan, which prompted many to call for work on the day again.

However, the Buckeyes ran the table in the new 12-team playoffs, eventually beating Notre Dame, who will fight the Irishman as the eighth seed of the tournament.
The Florida Panthers recently visited the president to celebrate their Stanley Cup victory since last summer.
Trump recently said he wanted to come to the White House for the Super Bowl Rive Kansas City Chiefs for the 2019 season (Super Bowl 2020). The final professional championship team to be appointed during his first presidency was the Washingtonian in 2019 five days after the World Series victory over the Houston Astros (despite the criticism of Shawn Doolittle's President). The pandemic made visits tougher in 2020, and by the time restrictions were lifted, Joe Biden was in office.

At this point it is unclear whether the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won the World Series in October, will visit the White House. They will face the Nationals in Washington from April 7th to 9th and will visit the nearby Baltimore Orioles in early September.
