The Big 12 Conference has settled on the four schools it will add to the league and the process is moving fast toward becoming official, a person briefed on the league's conversations told USA TODAY Sports.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the league's deliberations.
The four schools — Brigham Young, Central Florida, Cincinnati and Houston — represent the most appealing options among teams currently playing in the Group of Five conferences.
With the Big 12 attempting to quickly rebuild amid widespread uncertainty after losing Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC, the official addition of these four programs could occur within days, the person said.
