Title IX doesn't stipulate anything about what a women's team coach has to be paid in relation to the men's team coach in the respective sport. Title IX says female students have to be treated equally and fairly with equal access and opportunities as male students. In a nut shell there can't be discrimination based on gender.
The ironic twist with Title IX in regards to women coaches is that when it was passed in the early 70's 90% of women sports teams in all divisions of the NCAA were coached by a woman. Today less than 40% of NCAA women's teams are coached by a woman. Granted, there are significantly more universities sponsoring sports today meaning there's tremendously more women's teams than ~45 years ago and more women coaches. That said, last year, in ladies D I basketball only 58% of teams were coached by a woman and this past Final Four was the first time in history all 4 teams were coached by a man.
