The actual wording of the law is pretty benign.
It's the perverted interpretation of the law that's the problem.

Yep. As the op mentions the interpretation assumes there are equal number of men and women wanting to participate in sports. That just isn't true.

True=
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

Short sighted conservatives never envisioned the possibility that female enrollment would exceed male enrollement when they crafted the rules. When the three prong test was put into place, everyone thought test one was a get out of jail free card.
1.Providing athletic participation opportunities that are substantially proportionate to the student enrollment. This prong of the test is satisfied when participation opportunities for men and women are "substantially proportionate" to their respective undergraduate enrollment.
2.Demonstrating a continual expansion of athletic opportunities for the underrepresented sex. This prong of the test is satisfied when an institution has a history and continuing practice of program expansion that is responsive to the developing interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex (typically female).
3.Accommodating the interest and ability of underrepresented sex. This prong of the test is satisfied when an institution is meeting the interests and abilities of its female students even where there are disproportionately fewer females than males participating in sports.
