Title IX calculations seem screwy anyway

This came up several years ago when we were debating ACC adding another school to have a tournament (Louisville seemed most likely). I don't remember the exact numbers, but when looking at all varsity sports for teams in the ACC and looking at max scholarships for each, they just didn't add up to 1:1 with women's sports.
I know there are waivers and such, but it seemed at the time that Louisville - compared to the other schools - could add lacrosse. Now maybe they weren't interested and of course their athletic department is in upheaval mode now.

Here's what I found from that discussion on ND vs UofL:
ND has 3 Men's sports that Louisville doesn't have:
Fencing
Hockey
Lacrosse
And 1 Women's sport that Louisville doesn't have:
Fencing (and that one balances out with Men's fencing)
Louisville has Women's sport that ND doesn't have
Field Hockey

So it would seem by Title IX standards compared to ND, Louisville should have plenty of room to add 12.6 scholarships for Lacrosse.

It would be interesting to know how they come up with Title IX numbers. Stanford doesn't seem to have a problem with having every team under the sun.
