Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and first-year Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff will meet Tuesday to discuss whether an alignment between the two conferences makes sense going forward, sources tell CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd. There are a number of options up for discussion between the two Power Five big-wigs ranging from a simple scheduling alliance to something more drastic like a merger between the leagues.

This meeting comes just one day after Bowlsby floated both scenarios during a hearing with the Texas Senate regarding the future of college sports in the Lone Star State. The Athletic‘s Max Olson first reported the meeting between Bowlsby and Kliavkoff.
