Hyperbole, sure. Myth, no.
While it is true title IX has not "{forced} colleges and universities to eliminate hundreds of male athletic teams" it has forced them to choose between spending even more money on athletics or eliminating teams, especially after the Feds decided the only part of title IX they would use in ruling on college athletics was numbers of athletes, ignoring the level of interest requirement.
As a result, many men's teams have been eliminated. You can argue is it for budget reasons, but the reason the budget became a reason was due to the way title IX was being enforced (in a way that was more limited than the law actually allows).
"...are now trying to persuade the Supreme Court to create a private cause of action ..." Absolutely true (or was true at the time the article was written).
