Belt has never been considered for this bowl because there was never a Texas team worth it in the Sun Belt.

Simple as that.

Your statement of "Big 12, Big 10, AAC, or MWC seem to be preferred" is obvious. I'd wager top dollar that if HOD (or any bowl aside from Playoff bowls) could get out of the CUSA deal in favor of a Big 12/Big 10 matchup, they'd take it.
