Number of LSU women's sports vs men's

I was looking through a list of LSU men's and women's sports and thought the number of each were supposed to be equal? The only exclusive men's sports I saw were baseball and football while women have soccer, softball, volleyball, and gymnastics. Am I missing something here or are there indeed more women's sports? Would that be in conflict with Title IX?

More concerned with scholarships than sports. So football alone equals like 3 womens sports

The number of scholarships has to be equal per Title IX. Since football has such a huge number of scholarships, there have to be more women's sports to balance it out.

Scholarships is the reason a lot of smaller schools drop football, but pickup things such as men's soccer and wrestling.
