The same reason why the University of Ft. Lauderdale and North American University were on schedules this year: 1) they'll play on the road, 2) it's a win, and 3) little or no guarantee required, and 4) it's a win.
VUL is historically black (though it was only a university recently) and can appeal to more established HBCU's to give them a chance. With the defections from the MEAC this year, there were more teams looking to fill dates this season and VUL also played (and lost badly to) Delaware State (56-6) and Norfolk State (42-14) in addition to games versus Duquesne (56-6) and Tennessee Tech (56-13).
