He doesn't need to be guilty for it to directly affect his status with the league. There is strong precedent for suspending people who simply bring the league into disrepute with allegations/charges. Adam "Pacman" Jones got four games for "besmirching the reputation of the league" and he hasn't been found guilty of anything.
Vick's days in Altanta are basically over. The owner of the Falcons loves "character guys", who bring good press and good associations with them. His multi-million dollar endorsement deals are also strongly at risk. Ask Kate Moss what sponsors think about being attached to illicit activity. He'll play football somewhere, but this decision has cost him 10's of millions of dollars.
If guilty, I hope he serves real time. He can see what it is like to be a caged animal fighting for his life.
