CC3200 and using SPI while connected to wifi

Could someone give me more information on why we cannot include SPI for the cc3200 (as it says at the beginning of every wifi sketch)

#ifndef __CC3200R1M1RGC__
// Do not include SPI for CC3200 LaunchPad
#include <SPI.h>
#endif

I would really like to send a http get request to a server host and program a digital potentiometer based on the values read from the server, but the digital potentiometer uses SPI for data transfer.  As of right now I have taken the values from the server and filtered out the data to the few variables I need to use, and that loops every 10 seconds.  At this point I would like to program the digital potentiometer based on the values read from the server, but it doesn't seem to work.  I do also have the digital potentiometer working on its own if it is not in a wifi sketch.

Is there anyway to work around this and accomplish this goal, or could anyone link me to some more information on this subject?

Thanks

Edit: getting closer to having this work, but if you have anymore insight around this subject feel free to post it, I would like to know everything and anything regarding this topic.
