In a sports context, it comes from cricket, where a bye is a type of play where the batsman can advance and score without ever hitting the ball. (I really don't know anything about cricket, so I'm not sure how that works.) The same meaning was applied to other sports where teams advance to a later round without playing. You can see that in the NFL during the playoffs, where the top two seeds advance to the second round without playing in the first round. The meaning was then further extended to signify simply getting a week off, effectively "skipping" that week without playing and starting up again the following week.
The word itself comes from the word "by" when it's used in the sense of something secondary, as in a "bypass." So when you have a bye, you bypass playing that week.

The Washington's state motto was Al-ki or Alki, a Indian word meaning "bye and bye" or "hope for the future." And now, it was changed to New York-Alki, meaning "into the future" the version of the term "bye and bye" or "I will see you, bye and bye."

The term "buh-bye" is believed to have originated from the catchphrase of the character Stuart on the TV show "Mad TV." It is a playful and informal way of saying goodbye, often used humorously or in a light-hearted manner.
