There are many valid flaws with Title IX. I support the idea behind it, but in reality Title IX is a broken system.

The spirit of the decree was to add women's sports, not cut men's sports. Hundreds of men's wrestling, gymnastics, and tennis teams have been cut from D-I athletics programs around the country in order to allow universities to meet Title IX proportionality requirements, according to 60 Minutes.

The fact of the matter is, athletic participation is far higher for males than females. There are just more men who want to play college sports than women.
