Weird Theory About UCs

Hi guys. I was just looking at the links at the UC admission rates by campus, and it seems as if the admission rates have hit record lows once again. This led me to form a really, really crazy theory within my head. If admission rates keep on falling, UC Berkeley and UCLA will probably fall to <15% acceptance rate, UCSD <30%, and so forth. The UC system may be able to sustain this for awhile, but my theory is that eventually the UC system will have to open up more campuses to accommodate the demand. And then once acceptance rates fall even lower, more campuses will have to be opened. It’s like a never-ending game the UCs have to play. My question is, what is the plausibility that this could happen? Will we see more UC campuses in the future, like let’s say UC Eureka LOL? Or will the declining acceptance rates flatten out in the future (like, for example, UC Davis gets pegged around 30%, Merced at 60%, etc.).
