I would disagree. Timing makes it seem so, and we're in a different media age at this point than 2003-ish. UNC has definitely taken a bit of a PR hit, but UGA was getting the same dings. UNC continues to rate highly in the top universities rankings, and this scandal will not do anything to dramatically impact that. This investigation has been going on for over 3 years now...
Their accreditation board put them on probation, for one thing. That's hugely embarrassing for a school like UNC.
Maybe it's just because I know a lot of UNC people and watch them get shite on by UVA, W&L, etc. folks, but I think they've taken a bigger hit than you think.
It won't hurt their in-state applicant pool, but I would hesitate to go there if I was a serious out-of-state student with other elite options.

Yes and no. *Losing* accreditation would be hugely problematic for them, but the process to actually lose it is something that a school like UNC would never allow. Auburn was placed on probation with SACS back in 2001 I think... most people probably had little to no clue. My buddy was there working on his degree at the time and I'm pretty confident he was only barely aware.
It's certainly possible that it impacts their OOS applicant pool, but looking at their incoming freshman profile compared over the last several years, I'd say the impact appears to be negligible if any at all: LINK /
