The quality of any university is not measured by incoming SATs or other tests taken in high school five years before a college degree is awarded, but by what the school does to enhance the knowledge of its students while there. It is only "best" if it brings out the best in all of its students (not excluding athletes or any other group). You can't take credit for the raw material that you are given (high incoming SATs).
A pretty fair statement, I think. But the SAT metric does give some (not a full) indication of the quality of the student body, which definitely does impact the overall educational experience.
PP here. I agree that the experience is always enhanced by a bright and motivated student body, which can be loosely correlated with scores. It makes it that much bigger of a shame when the value of the experience is degraded in the marketplace by cutting corners (the kindest words that I could muster).

Name the most impactful invention or company created/founded or dreamed up by one of those genius UNC grads in the last 100 years. I couldn't find any . Basically it's Michael Jordon and that's it.

Uhhh... It's a settled fact that Unc has been awarding degrees to illiterate students for decades. That stands by itself. There is no argument that they are a top school . They have voluntarily blown up their reputation.
cheap shot of the day!

Most likely based on fraudulent data supplied by a institution that embraces cheating, lying , sloppiness, illiterate graduates and fraudulent high achievement .

UNC has 15% OOS cap. Trying to get in as an OOS student is extremely difficult.
