6 The Maltese Cross Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity The Maltese Cross 7 Alumnus of Skip the Year Bayless

By Christopher M. Hanes, Director of Developement, South Alabama 2001

Foundation President Dan Lund and I had the privilege of visiting the mecca of sports enthusiasts, ESPN Headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, to interview Skip for this article. After a two hour train ride from New York City, we were anxious to meet Skip and were not sure what to expect.

Dan and I were met at the security building by First Take Producer, Kevin Reeder. Kevin gave us a tour of the facilities and answered our questions about ESPN and Skip. Kevin told us that Skip is the hardest working and most dedicated person with whom he has ever worked, and Skip’s attention to detail is something from which everyone can learn. Kevin went on to discuss how down to earth and caring Skip is, and said, “Skip is an even better person than he is a debater.” It was great to get some additional perspective on Skip, and we found Kevin’s perspective to be 100% accurate – as we spent approximately three hours with Skip talking about his Phi Kap experience and career.

To the contrary, Skip assured us the the chapter stayed up all night celebrating – although show is “all real,” and that topics on which the debaters not in the context of a big drinking event but, rather, a exhibit disagreement are indeed the subject of a genuine brotherhood event. disagreement.

(or between Skip and anyone else, for that matter) is anything that has to do with Tim Tebow. Skip became a fan of Tebow when Florida beat Oklahoma in the 2009 BCS Championship. Skip appreciates Tebow’s passion and truly believes that Tebow can lead an NFL team even though he is not a prototypical NFL quarterback. This belief has led to an increase in Skip “haters,” and a corresponding significant uptick in ratings for First Take. Until he met his wife Ernestine, Skip was “married to his job.” Skip met Ernestine, in New York City while both were working on ESPN2’s Cold Pizza.

ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME YOU RECONNECTED ONCE A PHI KAP WITH YOUR BROTHERHOOD? Always a Phi Kap

“Once a Phi Kap, Always a Phi Kap” reminds us that our Fraternity experience lasts throughout our lives. Alumni chapters provide the framework for brothers to stay connected with each other after graduation and can assist undergraduate chapters by providing guidance and stability. We’re looking for alumni who want to start alumni chapters in their area. Each alumni chapter decides how often to meet and plans its own events. If you’re interested in starting an alumni chapter, the Alumni Engagement Committee will help you through the process and provide you with contact information for Phi Kaps in your area. In addition to looking for brothers who want to start alumni chapters, we’re also looking for people to volunteer on the Alumni Engagement Committee. Members of the committee provide support to our alumni chapters by helping them get started. Email us at [email protected] for more information
