Your original point was that "[v]irtually [no]" good culture comes out of elite institutions. I cited two examples, there are many more. Of course much more culture is created outside of elite institutions than within them, but that's largely because elite institutions are by their very nature very small. Those "rich pricks at Yale, Harvard, etc" make up a tiny fraction of society, likely far less than 1%. Accordingly, it would be crazy to think they create a majority or even a plurality of culture. However, they do have a very outsize influence. They make up less than 1% of the population, but contribute much more than that percentage to culture (I'd unscientifically gander somewhere between 2 and 8%).
