I realize that, but in my comparison, ND is + 3 mens sports

ND has what equates to 3 more men's sports than UofL (2 additional mens sports + 1 less women's sport)

I don't know how the formula is applied, but Louisville is 54% female vs ND at 48%. That wouldn't seem like what is a 3 sport difference with those sports having 18, 12.6, and 12 scholarships. But of course whether they want to add a sport and are able to add are two different questions

Fwiw, I ran the numbers on Louisville

It seems to me that right now, they're out of compliance with Title IX, unless either: (1) there's something about the computations I'm not understanding; (2) they have a waiver; or (3) Title IX permits a bit of a fudge factor (I'd say this is more than likely, given that it would be nearly impossible to match these numbers completely. The question is, how big a fudge factor do they allow?) Either way, if they add men's lacrosse, they'd probably have to add two women's sports as well in order to make their Title IX numbers better.
I think when someone was running numbers before

all the teams being discussed seemed out of compliance including ND, but I may be mis-remembering and regardless, no one is asking us.

It looked to me like pretty much everyone is out of

Compliance, even Georgia Tech despite a very favorable male:female ratio for Title IX (61-39). I think there is something we're all overlooking, as we don't see any women's groups up in arms about this, as I think they would be if there was mass noncompliance. Maybe the fudge factor is much higher than any of us realize (just spitballing here, but a fudge factor of 10%, while high, is not entirely out of the question.)
