The men's team, at least, while they were in NC, got a lot of their high priority personal items (like contacts) shipped out to them. Still probably couldn't get everything they wanted.
At some point in here the hotel thing will get tired. There will be a strong desire to return to something that is home. To enjoy your food, your bed, your weight room, your car or bike, etc. It could be OK as long as the teams are winning, but it may be very hard to pull out of a slump as an individual or as a team. At least your average D1 player is mentally prepared to spend quite a bit of time in hotels, but I suspect at the end we will realize Stanford teams lost more contests than expected.
I also wonder how the other sports will be able to prepare for their upcoming seasons with the existing restrictions.
