Three possible reasons:

Released in 2009, Van Wilder: Freshman Year serves as a direct-to-video prequel to the 2002 original. The story takes viewers back to the beginning of the legend. It follows a young Van Wilder (played by Jonathan Bennett) as he arrives at Coolidge College.

Unlike the original film where Van is the established "king of the campus," this installment shows how he earned that title. The plot revolves around Van realizing that the college is not the party school he envisioned; instead, it is run by a strict military regime. The film is a raunchy, slapstick journey of Van trying to liberate the student body and win the heart of Kaitlin, a reserved ROTC student.
