I don't think they buried their entire reputation.  This will largely be forgotten in 3-4 years, and likely is only known to folks who follow sports anyway.  Their graduate programs will not be affected at all.  Most undergraduate programs will see zero impact.

^^THIS^^

This is very old news actually:  https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2015/06/12/accrediting-body-places-unc-probation

UNC played this like a fiddle.  They knew the troubles from the NCAA would be much more severe in terms of monetary impact to the school (via athletics) vs. they knew the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on College wouldn't dare pull their accreditation.  So, they are on some kind of minor probation with the SACSCOC...big whoop, they had their ace up their sleeve already.

I am of course an "actual alum" and I don't care, but my opinion is irrelevant as I'm retired.  But, for the sake of discussion, would this have kept me from getting a job back when?  I don't think so.
And some penalty by the NCAA would not have changed whatever perceptions have changed.
I know of no UNC fan or alum who cares.  And I live here.

As I said, throwing academic reputation under the bus to save the hoops program

@redditcfb: UNC's defense of fake classes to NCAA contradicted what they told accreditor, now they're asking questions www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/unc-scandal/article183717756.html

In 2013, UNC was up for accreditation, to avoid issues they claimed the students had to prove they learned the material via an exam our the credits wouldn't count. That's not what they told the NCAA. UNC is up for accreditation again next month. Everything was a go on that until the NCAA report. Now, they aren't so sure about accreditation for UNC.

I see a lot of grandstanding in the future, with no actual meaningful results.

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

So what would happen if SACS actually pulled their accreditation? What would the tangible result be?

Not that I expect them to, but I wouldn't be surprised if this resulted in them being placed back on probation.

They would become the equivalent of the University of Phoenix?

They would almost certainly lose their AAU status as their ability to gain research funding would essentially be gone.
