==Early years==
Bayless was born John Edward Bayless II in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and his father immediately began calling him Skip – his father also had called his mother "Skip", as in "skipper of the ship". The name stuck, and Bayless was never called John by his parents. He eventually had his name legally changed to Skip.〔(Michael Tillery, "The Skip Bayless Interview Part I: Colorful Conscious and Of Course, Controversial", The Starting Five, February 23, 2009 )〕 His parents owned and operated the Hickory House restaurant in Oklahoma City, which specialized in barbecue. Bayless worked in the restaurant in his youth, but never considered it as a career path. His younger brother Rick Bayless carried on the family tradition and became a chef, restaurateur and television personality. He also has a younger sister.〔(Rick Maese, "Skip Bayless, ESPN2 'First Take' co-host, may be the most hated man in sports", ''The Washington Post'', September 13, 2013 )〕
Bayless' interest in sports began at an early age and he played baseball and basketball.〔(Bracht, Mel, "ESPN analyst Skip Bayless explains disputed claims about basketball career", ''The Oklahoman'', April 11, 2012 )〕 Bayless was the salutatorian of Northwest Classen's graduating class of 1970. He was a two-year member of the National Honor Society and president of the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter. He was also an officer in the letterman's club. At the urging of one of his English teachers, Bayless became the primary sports columnist for the school newspaper his junior and senior years. Prior to his senior year, Bayless represented Northwest Classen at Oklahoma Boys State. Upon graduation, he was awarded the Grantland Rice Scholarship (named for the sportswriter of the same name) to attend Vanderbilt University (Rice's alma mater).〔Frank Boggs, "Skip's B proves Nobody's Perfect", ''The Oklahoma Times'', May 21, 1970〕〔(Thoroughbred Racing Association: Fred Russell-Grantland Rice Scholarship, Past Winners )〕 While at Vanderbilt, he majored in English and history, and graduated ''cum laude'' in 1974. He was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, serving two years as the chapter's "rho" (sports director).〔(Christopher M. Hanes, "Alumnus of the Year: Skip Bayless", ''Maltese Cross'', Spring 2012 )〕 He was also the sports editor of ''The Hustler'', the university's student newspaper, and spent the summer of 1969 interning under sports editor Frank Boggs at ''The Daily Oklahoman''.〔(Michael Tillery, "The Skip Bayless Interview Part I: Colorful, Conscious and Of Course, Controversial", The Starting Five, February 23, 2009 )〕
