Hello, title speaks for itself. I already have 60 credit hours, and I want an online bachelors degree in Business Administration (or something in Business) in as fast as possible. I'm pretty sure I already have the general education done so I don't know if something like CLEP could really help me.
Could one of these schools help me with an expedited program that I can do online in hopefully less than two years?

Yes, if you work fast you can be done in 6 months, and graduate in 9 months. You can get a BSBA from TESU in General Management or other concentrations. GM is generally easier and cheaper. You can take tests from home (webcam proctored) through Saylor, Study.com, Straighterline, Davar, and more for the business courses and other requirements. Almost all can be done from home. You need to take a capstone course at TESU if you go through them. In a capstone, you basically write a long paper of what you learned in your degree studies.

You can finish the degree in less than that two years you're looking at. Read through the details within my signature to get started.
It'll give you your basics and you can then map/replace the courses you have done on the spreadsheet/template. Good luck!

Since an AA is usually liberal arts/gen eds, you probably need many 100/200 level business courses, so for sure you can use CLEP, DSST, Straighterline, etc.
If you post your courses that are in your AA, that would be a good start.
