That's correct. And they did so in a, surprisingly, sustainable manner. I went through and checked teams that stopped competing in MN 2006 - 2010 (2 - 180)...
2006 Teams 2
2007 Lost 0
2008 Lost 0
2009 Lost 3
2010 Lost 3
I'm sure I could continue to count but the gist of it is that they haven't lost a ton of teams. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine how successful these teams are for various measures.
