IRVING, Texas -- On the final day of Big 12 meetings, the league rolled out official numbers for revenue payments to its 10 schools, announced a new chairman to its board of directors in West Virginia President Gordon Gee and turned its attention to possibly the biggest issue hanging over the league right now -- the ongoing sexual-assault scandal surrounding Baylor and its football program and the Big 12 review that will take place.

And, for the first time in a long time, there was some good news about the scandal-plagued university as Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and outgoing board chair David Boren, Oklahoma's president, expressed confidence on Friday that Baylor's new leadership in President Linda Livingstone, athletic director Mack Rhoades and new football coach Matt Rhule were helping the school turn the corner toward better days.

"We heard an extensive report from President Livingstone at Baylor relative to her early days there," Bowlsby said, "...she gave us a long presentation, she entertained questions and she was very forthcoming. As I said yesterday, we're all very impressed with her. She was very forthright, very engaged and very enthusiastic to be at Baylor. I think she's going to provide dynamic and high-integrity leadership for the university."

Here's a rundown of some of the topics that Bowlsby and Boren hit on regarding Baylor, which took up the bulk of discussion in the directors' meeting on the final day.

How much money did the Big 12 distribute to its members and what's being done with Baylor's 25 percent share being held pending the review?

The Big 12 announced it had a record $34.8 million distribution to its members in 2016-17, up $4.4 million from the previous year and not including money made off of third-tier rights. The league has said its going to withhold 25 percent of Baylor's league revenue pending the outcome of their review. Bowlsby confirmed on Friday that the amount withheld from Baylor so far sits around $6 million. Baylor's money is being held in escrow.

How long will the Baylor review take, who is involved and what's the process?

Bowlsby wouldn't put a timetable on the length of the review, which the league has its own sub-committee for and is being led by Boston attorney Janet Judge, who also made a presentation on her findings so far on Friday. Baylor is also going through and internal and external audit in the process. The school is still facing multiple Title IX lawsuits, multiple Department of Education investigations and the Texas Rangers are also investigating.

"We feel like there is a substantial cache of docs that are ready for review and we’ll start that process in the very near future and maybe we’ll be able to give you a better estimate on time frame when stuff comes around, but we don’t want to put a timeframe on it because it’ just a guess at this point," Bowlsby said. "I don't think we're talking years. But there are some components of it frankly that are going to go on for some time, there are pending legal issues that certainly are not going to be resolved quickly, and there are pending (Office of Civil Rights) and NCAA matters that are not going to be resolved quickly and our process is somewhat reliant upon the outcomes and the information gathered by those processes ... and that's why we have some uncertainty about a sunset on it."

What was Baylor's presentation to the Big 12 on Friday?

The presentation lasted about an hour, with Livingstone going first followed by the Big 12 subcommittee and Judge. Livingstone answered questions and the Big 12 presidents were impressed by how she handled things.

"We wanted and sought reassurance from the institution itself, and had another example of that today with the new president’s report, which was very reassuring to all of us and we’re very impressed with her commitment to continue to do the right things at Baylor," Boren said. "To make sure the right kind of culture is being created and we’re very optimistic about their ultimate success in that regard. New personnel has been put in place, new procedures are being put in place and now, it’s to implement the kind of change to that basic culture that we’ve had a disruption of in the past."

Livingstone described how she would proceed moving forward, and she's just in the beginning process of her verification. One part of that is figuring out how to deal with things that can't be qualified in terms of compliance -- like changes in the culture on campus and within the football program, which Boren referred to multiple times. The Big 12 said it was comforted by Baylor's efforts so far.

"It’s reassuring because we do think there’s progress being made on campus and there’s a genuine commitment to change from the new leadership," Boren said. "There’s good work going on there and there’s good and talented people that have been recruited to the Baylor staff to help them and assist them in their responsibilities."

Is Baylor cooperating with all aspects of the investigation? What will satisfy the review?

They are. Nothing the Big 12 has asked for has been denied in terms of documents or interviews, so nothing on Baylor's side is holding up the investigation.

A big thing will be the Big 12 looking at the 105 recommendations for the Pepper Hamilton report - the league wants to make sure that everything from that is actually in place as far as personnel and even location of offices on campus. Judge's report will be maybe the biggest factor. The Big 12 has made it known that it expects periodic reports from all involved.

"I would say that we don't want to rush this. on the other hand, we want to make sure that we have very carefully considered everything we can," Boren said. "It's not an exact science, but on the other hand, we don't want to delay it for its own sake of delays. ... as long as we're getting full cooperation, and thus far we feel we are getting excellent cooperation, and commitment to continuing this cooperation from Baylor's new president, we hope that we can be deliberate and efficient in our use of time, and not drag it out unnecessarily."
