Arizona State is in the Phoenix metro area. Arizona is in Tucson.
The Phoenix metro area currently has about five million people and is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the nation. Tucson has abut one million and is not growing nearly as rapidly. There's no comparision in the amount of ongoing economic development.
Arizona State is the larger school. Current enrollment is about 75,000 vrs. about 35,000 at Arizona.
Arizona State has better facilities and its President has convinced Tempe (the surburb where ASU's main campus is located) to enact a special tax district around the campus with all of the funds going to the ASU athletic department.
The one clear edge that Arizona has currently is a better basketball program than Arizona State.
