The Trinity wireless network is my life.
Ok that may be a little exaggerated...but I do use the wireless network daily. Facebook is huge distraction for me. I check it all the time. That is not an exaggeration. I use facebook to look up people that I have recently met and I become friends with them so that I can talk to them more.
I also use the Trinity e-mail to get messages from professors, swim coaches, and friends that prefer to use e-mail over facebook.
The Trinity wireless network is not just a distraction for me, but also a huge help academically. Some professors post their lectures and power points online. This makes note taking in class easier because when I get back to my room I can just print out the notes. Google is also a huge help. I can find a lot of information on this search engine for research papers and to find pictures for classes.
Here is a link to information about how Lynchberg College deployed an outdoor wireless network and its benefits to the school:

I understand with the whole facebook distraction thing...but at least you still use it for school/athletic things!
The network is a big distration and used for recreation more than academics
I totally understand how many e-mails you receive being an athlete. If I dont check my every day i have fifty emails in my inbox waiting for me.
I agree, being able to come back to your room and just print out the slides after class is a huge help.
