Corinthian:

Arizona’s public university system is organized somewhat differently than California’s.

In part, this is enabled by Arizona’s concentrated state population, where the Phoenix metro includes the majority of the state population, and much of the rest is in Tucson metro. So making the two flagship level universities also broad access commuter universities makes sense. (Hawaii is another state with similar population concentration.)
