It is not based on enrollment, it is based on the number of male scholarships vs female scholarships. Football has a large number and most schools never get enought girls sports to equal the boys but they have to prove to the NCAA that they are doing there best. There are many other small public schools that have has this happen to them. My school had soccer for 20 plus years and then when the coach retired the droped it and wrestiling at the same time. Now they have womens soccer but still no men. Title IX has caused many mens programs to suffer of make canges.
If the rules would not include football in the equation then schools could meet the requirements, however until that happens this will still be a hot topic.
