Virginia University of Lynchburg football players will be spending a lot of time on the road this upcoming season.
The HBCU in Lynchburg has announced a nine-game schedule, with all nine away from home. The slate includes trips to schools in six different states, including Virginia, plus Washington, D.C.
VUL, formerly known as Virginia Seminary, will play five HBCUs—Virginia Union University of the CIAA; Howard, Delaware State and Norfolk State universities of MEAC; and Tennessee State University of the Ohio Valley Conference.
