Every college, it seems, has at least one well-known celebrity backer, whether it be on the gridiron, the hardwood, the diamond or the mat. But who are those figures in the Big Ten? I asked our Twitter followers that very question, and then came up with this list of the top celebrity fans for all 14 Big Ten schools.

Here we go.

Illinois: Bill Murray



Born and raised in Wilmette, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, Murray is a huge Fighting Illini fan. In fact, Murray followed the 2005 Illini hoops team from the Chicago Regional to the national title game and even gave the team a pep talk before a game. It was just this past year when Murray gave a panhandler a hard time about being from North Carolina before going on a rant about how UNC cheated Illinois out of a championship in 2005, and then, finally giving him money.
