does the school have football?...wrestling?....Title nine only says that the expenses of sports have to be somewhat equal, not that every sport has to be offered to everybody...

Here in MO the rule is that girls can play a boys sport in that sport is not offered for girls ie. girls can play football. Boys are only allowed (maybe, case by case) to play a girls sport if there is no athletic opportunity offered for boys. Reason; boys fundamentally change a girls sport, girls don't change a boys sport.

After ERA failed some states passed their own version, courts have ruled that boys must be permitted to play girls sports. Boys playing field hockey in MA comes to mind.
