...Notre Dame would've been a great fit for the Big 10 and contributed instant rivalries with Mich St, Mich and Ohio St among others. Huge mistake on their part.

Notre Dame was rejected by the Big10 for cultural reasons....

Except that the Big10 almost certainly didn't reject Notre Dame.

This is a historical sense. The B1G denied Notre Dame back in the early 1900s

I don't believe that for one minute. The BIG approached ND, in 1999,

Think Knute Rockne era, when Michigan refused to play ND.

Notre Dame overcame it, and so will BYU.
