While Northern Illinois State had been a member of the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference prior to the 1925 season, it withdrew from the conference prior to its first game against another member, the October 10 game against North-Western College. Despite its withdrawal, North-Western attempted to protest the result of the game to conference officials, claiming that Northern Illinois State had used ineligible players.[2]
