That just seems like a huge false dichotomy that's been used as the crux of a lot of arguments.
I've yet to hear about one, though I hear of many complaining of them. Truth is, if there ever was a team like that, it likely disbanded the year following. You need students to continue to have a team, and most students are probably not as enthusiastic about just watching others.
