I'm not sure about a bus from Milwaukee as AA had and has regularly scheduled flights to ORD from MKE. In fact back in mid-90s I bought a one-way ticket on AA in the morning to fly the same afternoon for under $50 all in. (sorry, can't remember the exact amount)....
Maybe you're thinking about Rockford? I'm not sure if the service is still available, but at one time one could actually collect miles, but as you said, it had to be a connection with AA flight.
