Obviously I don't understand the overall financial dynamics of major university, but would it be a huge problem to just admit the 112 and raise the freshman class size on a one time only basis?

I understand there are academic standards involved, but it is not the fault of those who have already been accepted. Statistically, some percentage will flunk out, some will drop out and some will do better than expected.

What might the total impact be?
I have heard that the 112 were really at the bottom of the admissions pile and if they'd accpted them, they would've had trouble from the hundreds of non-accepted people who were in between them and those who were accepted.
