As others have pointed out in the past a) the world needs sociologists and b) BA programs are generally less expensive to run and subsidize the costs of more expensive science programs. I think it might make sense to put caps on certain programs and raise the admission standards for them so as to not end up with a saturation problem, but if the problem is too many people getting BAs and then not finding work I don't think the solution is to provide incentive for people to saturate a different field.
