now thinking about it, why and how does Spokane metro have 2 -D1 basketball teams. 

There are significantly smaller metros with 2+ D-I programs. Louisiana Tech and Grambling State are both in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana (pop. <50,000). Virginia Tech and Radford share a metro area with 150,000 people. Spokane has over a half million people in the area. College sports didn't evolve like the pros. There are D-I schools in some odd places.

true, but I guess im thinking this because Spokane is not only smaller, but in the absolute middle of nowhere.  at least VT and radford are in a part of the country that high population isnt far.
