I think there is too much pressure for a lot of high school graduates to immediately attend college for this to be feasible. A lot of people spending $100k+ on tuition probably spent at least half that on their high school tuition, so the whole "oh just wait until you're ready" thing doesn't really hold water for the parents that are paying the bills.
The real problem, I think, for these students is not in their inability to choose a major (since the large majority of them choose something), but in their lack of experience to provide them a basis for understanding what they are really interested in combined with external pressures regarding what are acceptable fields to pursue.
