Do not know if the story is true but the legend is .. he presented his business model of canes to his prof in some LSU business class.. Prof said that you needed to diversify your product and could not build a business one one product… Gave him a C on his project..

Yeah the prof probably had to walk by the original canes location every day and shake his head.. ( fyi cane number one is one block off campus next to the apartment Todd lived in when in college)

Todd Graves went to UGA. The other guy he started it with went to LSU

Graves was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in Baton Rouge. Graves graduated from Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge. Graves attended the University of Georgia, where in 1994 he received a degree in telecommunications.

This is true. He came back to BR to develop the idea and his roommate (cannot remember his name) was a business major and presented it as his seminar project and the professor said this is not something the market would want or need.

He lived in BR in college? He didn't attend LSU.
