It seems as if at least 21 of these exist for different college. As you will notice, the prominent player on the front of each glass has a uniform number that corresponds to it's place in the series. They are fairly difficult to locate if you are searching for a particular team.
I became interested in these when a good friend and collecting buddy shared his Oklahoma State one (actually Oklahoma A&M, so you know these were from before 1958).
The Big Top Peanut Butter company put out a number of different themed glasses to entice buyers to collect and repeatedly buy their product. You will find a similar series of Big Top glasses with popular sheet music of the time, commonly referred to as "Sing-A-Song" glasses.
The sheet music and lyrics on the backs of these glasses are interesting. Some are well known songs for their respective university, while it seems others may have been crudely crafted songs for the purposes of making the glass. I'm not a musician so I can't tell you if the notes are accurate or make any sort of playable song.
I've placed them in order, with a front and a back picture. As you can see, there are a few number gaps in these pictures, the missing universities I do not have any knowledge of.
