As if the ACC-Big Ten Challenge needed to become any more lopsided.

News broke late last night that Indiana, which currently sits at No. 2 in the Big Ten standings, received a list of major violations from the NCAA last week.

This revelation arrives less than four months after head coach Kelvin Sampson and the Indiana program self-reported impermissible phone calls to the NCAA. Sampson was already on NCAA probation thanks to making 577 impermissible phone calls during his time at Oklahoma.

Here are the nuts and bolts of the issue, courtesy of the Associated Press.

Sampson "failed to deport himself ... with the generally recognized high standard of honesty" and "failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance within the men's basketball program," according to the report.

Major violations of NCAA rules can carry punishments including postseason ineligibility.

All this could happen thanks to a whole bunch of recruiting phone calls, purportedly committed by what is, without question, the Big Ten’s preeminent program. Yikes.

• Per usual, Adam Zagoria has the latest on St. Benedict’s (N.J.) center Greg Echenique. According to Zagoria, Florida has emerged as a possible destination for the Venezuelan big man.

The 6-9 Echenique previously listed Duke, Rutgers, Penn, Miami, Maryland and Pitt among his leaders, but his interest in Miami stems from the fact that Florida is closer to his native Venezuela. It's not hard to imagine he might like Florida, the two-time defending NCAA champs, for the same reason.

Echenique’s high school coach, Danny Hurley, told Zagoria that Echenique and his parents will try to visit Duke, Florida and Miami at the end of March.
