Teams that only exist to allow a divine player (typically with continued training past the pop to divine) to remain in the game. These players have outragously high wages and can not be kept by a team that seeks to be competitive, since the single wage cost plus the other 'normal' wages would cause the team to go bankrupt.

Farm teams may have low enough wages (aside from the farmed player) to remain viable, or they may have a huge bankroll from selling off their talent that is slowly bled by the wage bill. A farm team does not have enough skilled players to stay in a high division.

This practice is known as Farming and without it the situation for national teams would be very different.
