The problem you present here is the same one the women's soccer faces as a whole in the US.love it or leave it, but, the ladies sell #### (excellence/sex appeal) that the men cannot touch atm.
You can't have your National team be the driving force revenue wise for your sport. It has to come from the clubs if you want to see the sport become bigger than a once every 4 year flash, no matter how big the flash is.
Today, MLS absolutely dwarfs the men's side of US Soccer financially. But it was not always this way though. It look a long time to grow the league to this point. The women need to get to the point where their domestic league is bigger (financially) than the women's side of US Soccer. When that day comes, it will be great for all of women's soccer in the US imo. But it won't be easy and it certainly won't be quick.
In terms of how much greater the USWNT sales are, every one of us will be long dead before any US womens player is sold for any where close to the $70m Pulisic was just sold for. (yes I know you are talking about different kind of sales, but it is still pertinent to the financial worth of the players).
