I admit I skimmed the article quickly, but that letter ignores the recruiting piece entirely.  Can’t have a real discussion about the situation without acknowledging that fact IMO.  Is CBA recruiting? I don't know.  If they are, that can’t be ignored even if they had a few down years like the letter mentioned.  They haven’t lost a game in 3 years and only 1 game in the last 4 years.  Seems like a red flag to me that they might have a competitive advantage.

School size is largely irrelevant if you can recruit.  Doesn’t guarantee success every year, but it’s a huge advantage.

You mentioning DC brought me down memory lane.  Years ago, 4 time State Champion Jamesville Dewitt with Coleman/Cavanaugh came down to DeMatha and I watched the Stags absolutely wipe the floor with them.  Wasn’t a close game out of the gate.  DeMatha is a much smaller school than JD.  That exemplified to me the difference between private and public.  For as good as JD was, they aren’t touching a private school like DeMatha on their best day that makes a concerted effort to recruit kids.

I’ll be interested to find out more about this as I have family that works in the Liverpool school district I’ll be visiting this Easter weekend.
