I believe it is 'true'. There are indeed 'many' successful teams that don't get a high level of sponsorship. But as prior responses say, there are ALSO many successful teams that DO get a high level of sponsorship.

There are also teams that have a high level of sponsorship, yet are not 'successful' (by various metrics of success.)

A successful team first needs good people (quality/skilled mentors/students) to be successful-- they can often be successful with lower sponsorship because of factors other than $ and sponsor resources.

I suspect a team having trouble getting sponsorship is due to either a lack of local willing sponsors and/or a lack of effort (or the wrong type of effort) by the team to recruit and retain sponsors.
