You can find information about most any of the CUSA teams from their boards same as here. Open practice or not, information isn't contained. There have been in the past and will be in the future threads mentioning spring practices, who played, who didn't, and various other tidbits. From having read that information over the years, including the MAC, I was able to comfortably state that our situation did not seem out of the norm.
We, the fans, aren't constrained by the same rules as the media and the media doesn't have a monopoly on sports information. Sorry you're just now finding this out.
