The very, very condensed version of Title IX works like this. You need the percentages of athletes to match up with the percentage of attendees at your school based on sex.

So if a school is 60/40 in favor of women to men, then at minimum 60% of their athletes need to be women. This leads schools to play the numbers game and add women's sports that have a high number of slots available on the team regardless of interest, or if they don't want to add women then as we've seen they just cut men.
