The Western Conference in 1906 adopted a number of reforms, including a rule limiting member schools to only five intercollegiate football games each year. Conference members had played as many as 11 or 12 games in 1905, but all member schools were limited to five games for the 1906 season.[3]
Iowa played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
