Part of the fun of researching football's history comes from trying to understand how football fits within broader social and technological changes, particularly the media.

That is great. The Wisconsin game was not scheduled for broadcast a month or two before the game, but the snow would have kept them away. I considered including an image of the game from Iowa's yearbook, but sounds like the game is a good topic for a Tidbit.
Maybe the reason only 4 home games were broadcast in 1925 is because the 5th (and last) home game (against Wisconsin) was played in a blizzard. There were 34 fumbles in the game, 17 in the first quarter alone.
