I can't remember where I heard about this, but isn't there some kind of "surgeon model" where you have one star player do the majority of work, and everyone else is support staff? It's a pattern that emerges, and not a bad thing to encourage, as long as it's acknowledged. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. But in college, usually everyone has to be graded equally (akin to everyone being paid equally). Administrative and support work is still important, because without it, a surgery or a project won't succeed. Kinda like the 10x dev thing, but for group dynamics in general.

That's an exagerrated take. I think schools assigns group projects to students, so that they can learn all kinds of group dynamics, mooching off of harder working people being merely one of them.

well it's a cynical, misanthropic take on how the world works, but I would be interested in seeing anyone finding a manual on teaching suggesting this as the lesson to be learned from group work.
