The Bears 88: How many of the 88 Big Ten draftees came from each Big Ten school?

Since 1967 and the start of the modern NFL draft, the Chicago Bears drafted 549 players, including 88 from Big Ten schools. Those numbers included every Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland, and Rutgers draft since 1967 even though those schools were not in the Big Ten the entire time. With that acknowledgement, 16% of the all Chicago Bears draft picks came from Big Ten schools. Can you match the individual schools with the number of times the Bears drafted one of their players? The schools are listed in alphabetical order, and the number beside them matches one of the schools in the Big Ten. The question is, which number matches which school?
