The next steps in the Clippers investigation, league expansion and NBA Europe could all be decided next week.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby will conduct video conferences with 17 schools that have contacted the league about being considered as expansion candidates.
In a letter to Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, several LGBT advocacy groups said that admitting BYU as an expansion school would be "inconsistent with Big 12 membership values."
UCF athletic director Danny White says the school can "elevate" the Big 12 if they are invited to join the conference as part of expansion.
Big 12 coaches voted under the condition of anonymity when polled by ESPN's Brett McMurphy on their preferred expansion candidates. Houston and BYU led the way with five votes each.
Big 12 board of directors chair and Oklahoma president David Boren said expansion by both two and four schools will be on the table moving forward.
