Salient features of 1925 college football season
The Mustangs of Southern Methodist University, Southwestern conference champions, won all remaining games. Oklahoma Aggies and Missouri Valleys champions faced defeats outside the conference. The season saw new attendance records with an estimated 15,000,000 spectators and a national gate of $20,600,000, including 120,000 viewers at the Army-Navy game and $800,000 in receipts, surpassing prior marks. Nine champions fell in various regions, Dartmouth and Washington on the Pacific saw declines, field goals emerged as decisive factors in many games, and teams moved toward eleven-man attacks diminishing star players. The shift play faced a pushback, with Western coaches enforcing a two-second half after shifts, signaling possible nationwide abolition. Princeton's break with Harvard stirred undergraduate unrest and revived talks of a Master’s Biz Ten league.
