It isn't that they let in minnows, it is that there is no push to win because so many teams make it to the knockout round, you just have to avoid being the worst, not worry about trying to be the best.
I can't think of a great way to make 24 work without increasing the number of group games, which in itself means teams either play too often or the tourney takes too long. Or by giving top teams a by to the QF which is problematic because then they may have as much as 7-10 days off.

And that the teams that you'd give a bye to are the teams that generate the most revenue and that everyone pays their money to see.
