A court date has been set for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.

The former Virginia Tech star and three others face federal charges stemming from a dogfighting operation from property he owned in Surry County.

Vick's initial hearing and arraignment have been set for July 26, the same day the Falcons begin training camp.

The indictment lists at least 30 fights that Vick or other members of his Bad Newz Kennels operation are alleged to have participated in or attended between 2002 and early 2007. According to the indictment, when the dogs performed badly either in the ring or in test fights, they'd be executed, by being shot, hanged, drowned or electrocuted.
